darth_stitchWhat? So I watch American Idol - shameless lover of bad TV here. :P Half the fun is cringing at the awful singers and the other half is watching Simon snark the hell out of them.
*grins*
Seriously, I just watched the male semifinalists of AI duke it out last night. And here are the contestants that more or less made me sit up and pay attention.
Constantine was....ew. It's like this - the show is telling me to LIKE this guy because he is ostensibly good-looking and bad-boy and OMG! a rocker to boot. But it's the same kind of thinking that I've been asked to swallow in watching the new Phantom of the Opera - lookit the gorgeous Phantom and let's forget that he can't sing worth shit and that Christine will find him unbearably attractive anyway. :P
Anyway, Constantine can sing but he doesn't blow me away. And he does come off as smarmy and arrogant on my telly screen - not someone I wanna spend my hard-earned money on to buy CDs of his music, much less see him as an American Idol. I mean, if he was this bad as a wannabe...how much more if he thinks he's finally "arrived."
Anthony Fedorov is cute although I'd like to see him pick better songs. Having not been around for the Great Clay Aiken War on American Idol (I came in late to that party - alas! :P ), I really can't comment on the whole "next Clay Aiken thing." If he's got any sense, he WON'T capitalize on that. There is only one Clay Aiken and any attempt to capitalize on HIS gig will just backfire on a person. And the whole tragic tracheotomy thing is already getting old. Fedorov should just be his own unique self. He's already got a wonderful voice and the whole cute blond Harry Potter thing (shh... don't tell my Harry Muse) going for him - I rather think he'll end up in the top 12.
Anwar Robinson is charming, knows what he's doing on stage and has a great voice. I like seeing him onstage. Again, I think he'll end up in the top 12.
BO BICE - MY MAN!!!! I love this guy's voice. He's just his own sweet down-to-earth rocker self and I can see myself willingly buying CDs of his music. In fact, are there any CDs of his music out now? Really, this guy deserves a space on the top 12 and he's MILES better than smarmy Constantine.
Scott Savol is kind of scary but again, he's got a great voice. He's got this whole weird psycho thing going but then so does the Phantom. Hee. He's kind of like a great big bear of a Phantom. Again, I think he's going to make it into the top 12.
Now, if there are any interesting singers among the girls.... *sits back, pops some corn and waits for the fireworks to begin*

(Honestly, I mute half of American Idol, because I can't stand to listen to some of the performers, they hurt my sense of pitch liek whoa.)
