American Idol is back, and, as Randy Jackson would say, it’s not good.
I’m completely uninspired by any of the 24 contestants. They seem to have almost no personality, they all want to thank imaginary sky people and the singing has been horrible. Maybe I’m judging them prematurely, but I’m sure previous seasons have started better. If I had to pick the tops, I would go for:
- Blake Lewis - He sang Keane, he gets my vote (even though I thought it was Travis at first).
- Gina Glockson - Big voice, and she likes U2 and Green Day. Gotta lose the red streaks though.
- Chris Sligh - He may love Jeebus, but he’s funny and he’s got a mop on his head.
- Leslie Hunt - She’s a dog walker! And she likes Bjork!
Every year, Canadian Idol surpasses its big brother; I don’t expect this year to be any different.
