Re: American Idol Final 2
the rock guy was the only one worth bothering with. his version of renegade was MUCH better than the original (styx 1982)... no one else has stood up to the originals cause none of them can sing like whitney or whatnot, and the chick's problem is that she's not comfortable trying to do her own thing and tries to hard to be some kind of elite power singer, which she clearly will never be.
mr goofy has been playing with an actual band for years and had a bit of a built in crowd before the show started, and all the old people like him since he's usually singing stuff from the 60s or even earlier...
Its all a bit of a joke though. the label signing all these people makes a boatload off all the hype and free advertising, and then just flushes them afterwards. The contracts these people have to sign is TERRIBLE compared to average record deals.
the problem with the show is that the average age of the viewer is higher than the average age of the group the label is marketing and trying to sell CDs to... which leads to the disconnect you something see in interest and voting trends.
and i hated the you are so beautiful, its just an extremely boring song, even when it's chopped down to 90 seconds.
