So, I watch American Idol... Its one of my many vices, trailing behind coffee, the Beatles, dance movies and those other things, which for several reasons, we won't mention...

Anyhoo, there were plenty of contestants who pissed me off this season, Kristy Lee I-sold-my-horse-to-be-on-this-damn-show Cook, David shake-what-yo'-mama-gave-ya Hernandez, and Chikizie Lemon-squeezy Ezie , to name a few.... But without a doubt, the ones who pissed me off the most, were Michael if-you-squint hard-enough-I-kinda-sorta-look-like-Chris-Martin Johns, and Carly I-get-more-Irish-by-the-Idol-minute Smithson. These two wannabe's pissed me off to no end! On the one hand, you have Michael, who thinks he's God's gift to American radioplay... On the other hand, you've got Carly, who is clearly one f*cked up lass.... At least I could stomach Michael... most of the time... Carly was just too much to bear... Allow me to count the ways:

1. She cried after her audition (although don't know if it was because they accepted her or because Simon said she sounded worse than she did when she auditioned two years ago)

2. She chose Blackbird by Paul McCartney on Beatles night, but chose to relate it to her situation as a wannabe Rockstar than no one likes... Do not degrade a Beatles song like that, bitch! Its like Britney Spears trying to convince us that Hit Me Baby, One More Time is actually about her abusive childhood...

3. She got a 7 tattoo on her ring finger... to denote Season 7 of American Idol.... 'nuff said.

4. She was waaaaay too desperate for Simon's approval.

Well, i'm happy to say that Immigrant Idol is finally over. Michael got the boot a couple of weeks ago and Carly got canned last week...

Hopefully, the rest of the girls will start trickling out and it'll be a boys only finale!

Peace, Love & Beatniks
