I haven't watched American Idol in years because it has gotten too packaged, commercialized, I could go on and on. But for some reason I got curious to see who the top 24 contestants were this year. I could also cite many examples of lame answers but I first must address the most important aspect in a singing contest: your appearance. I ask you to look at these pics and tell me if you, like me, believe they must be joking if they think this is attractive. I also can't believe that Irish girl who made a record already is being allowed through!!

Top 24

He's 17 so I can excuse him slightly

I accidentally watched a few minutes of AI last week and saw her sing. She is Janis Joplin-esque which is cool. But I still mock her hair.

Is that gel to make it look unwashed??

Yeah I think she has, let's say, LIVED and it shows. She's a nurse which is cool. BUT FIX YOUR RUDDY HAIR.

They can't seriously expect us to be nice when they've entered a ridiculous karaoke contest with silly hair-dos like that, can they?!

EDIT: YAY! That was my 800th post....the 1000th is getting closer!

You know these people all get makeovers as the show goes on. Hopefully things will get better.

They do and you have to hope bad hair/good voice Amanda makes it if only so a stylist can fix her hair.

Congrats moominbadger!

This all strikes me a wee bit sad. These people get tweaked, made over, photoshopped and molded into a popstar. How can you not loose yourself in a circus like that?

They are too desperate and fame hungry to care.
