Alright, well it's that time of year when the American Idol machine starts rolling and I become an absolute retard. The judges all went on record saying that they put through TV worthy folks this time instead of actual singers, but I'm wondering if they aren't having second thoughts after watching last night and tonight?
The girls trodded out last night and were pretty much a fucking disaster. Becky is hot, but not very talented. Brenna, Heather, Melissa are just okay, but not as forgettable as Kinnik or Stevie one of whom will probably be done this week. Little Paris did her thing and I was kind of digging that. I loved that last girl, the chubby one named Katherine. Oh, but I really, really heart the very sincere "my daddy is in jail" trailer girl Kellie Pickler. That little cutie will go far I'm sure. And for some reason I have the hots for the basketball giant?
The fellas were equally as lame tonight with the exception of maybe 4 guys who were solid. The problem was that no one was great and it makes the show seem a tad like it might have jumped the shark. Who the fuck is going to be an Idol out of this lot of guys? Ace is probably the best combination of hunk and skills, but otherwise you have some ugly looking dudes to choose from. Vocal skills aside, both Bucky and Elliott are in dire need of emergency denistry, Taylor looks 47, the younger dudes look mad young, like 12 and shit. And don't get me started on that kid who sang Barry Manilow. Fucking train wreck. And did anyone else notice the omission of black dudes this time around? All we have is the grinning kid Gideon who scares the hell out of me. When the night was done, Taylor had a lousy song choice, Chris did well with Wanted Dead or Alive, The Crooner kid was tolerable and Elliott/Ace both really came out strong and threw down the gauntlet.
Now since I am a betting man always, I think I'll give you my top 5 and let's see in a couple months just how close I come to being right.
1. Ace Young
2. Elliott Yamin
3. Katherine McPhee
4. Paris Bennett
5. Chris Daughtry
Of course, these selections mirror who I think America will predicably vote in to the final 5 and not indicative of who I think should be there. My top guy is Taylor Hicks and my top gal is Kellie Pickler, but neither will make it all the way.

read a book. It's better for you
Taylor hicks is good man!! I think i would buy his record. The only other person i said this about was george Huff and I like hicks better then Huff. However Skip, you are once again right. Taylor will not make it to the final 5 b/c America votes. Speaking of America voting. More americans vote for American idol (effects there life in no way) than our President election (which has a big impact on our lifes). Elliot is another of my favorites along with Paris, Lisa and Katerine. I agree with you top five accept Chris daughtry and i take him out b/c i can put him in the top 5 due to his dumb ass side burns and he sang Bon Jovi and i cant get past that. Just thought i would chim in on your american idol talk. Looking forward to seeing you and taking your money in poker.

P.S. Maybe if John Kerry would have sang Father Figure at the Presidential Debate he woudl have gotten more votes. Anywho talk to you next weekend
