American non-Idol

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.

I like Melinda Doolittle and I like Gina, despite her air of entitlement, because she has a nice voice.

I think the producers stacked the deck for a woman to win this year because just about all the guys kind of suck. Sligh will be entertaining, though. And Sundance needs to not hold the notes on the consonants: “Knights in white satinnnnnnnnnnnnnn.”

What about Lakisha? Girl can sing! And that Stephanie Edwards was fine too.

Melinda and Lakisha both have great voices, they just don’t interest me. Maybe it’s because I’m not a big soul/r&b/motown fan.
