Pip My Idol

22 May 2008 2 views No Comment

I will be the first to admit I hate American Idol. It’s stupid, overhyped, too commercial, comes on at the same time as Dancing With the Stars (GO KRISTI YAMAGUCHI!) and very few of the winners ever really sustain a career let alone a record deal. Last night’s edition, the finale, proved even more why I hate it - over 100 million people voted between the two David’s. 100 MILLION! And celebrities have to sing songs and make funny commercials to coax people into voting for the next American president? WHY?! Should Hillary and Obama face off in their best renditions of Jesus Take The Wheel? (LOVE Carrie Underwood, by the way.)

So I’m a woman on an island. I know I’m the only person who hates Idol. OK, me and BFam, but I’m married to him so he doesn’t count (sorry honey). But my mother, proving to be more of a TV junkie than me, watched last night’s episode. She and one of my friends told me there was something about last night that was so hilarious - and probably the only thing worth watching - I just had to see it.

And, I know, you can go to most sites this morning and find this same highlight playing as the only thing great about Idol last night. And, you know what? I couldn’t agree more.

Can I just say, right now, how much I heart Jack Black. Because I do.
