American Idol: Wasted Time
January 28th, 2007
My life was circling the drain last night. I spent 3 hours watching American Idol, and it wasn’t as if I watched just one 3-hour episode…rather, I watched a one-hour segment three times. In a row. In one night.
In my defense it was pretty entertaining. I don’t ordinarily watch American Idol, but I do like watching the auditions where America’s least talented come out of the woodwork and entertain us. Last night’s auditions took place in Seattle, and you wouldn’t believe the freaks who live in that city — it’s a shame, too, because Seattle is such a cool city. Last night’s contestants looked like a disturbing cross between rodents and aliens from Star Wars. That, and the fact that many of them had a “touch” of something (i.e. they were surely in special education classes growing up).
Highlights included one incredibly unattractive girl who was delusional enough to nickname herself “The Hotness”. This girl’s unfortunate looks never even gave her a chance, but it didn’t matter since her singing sounded like she was constipated. And moaning on the toilet.
