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. |
