It's oh so quiet......
So I'm gonna share my thoughts on American Idol. The first two episodes of the new series were on ITV2 last weekend, with the usual array of horribly 'wacky' auditionees and their natural balance, the over-earnests crying that their life is over because they didn't get to go to 'HollywoodDawg' (I can't find it on any map of the US but Randy Jackson seems to be looking forward to going back there).
Brilliantly Simon Cowell is even ruder than usual. I don't know if he was playing up to the pantomime dame act and giving the audience what they want, or if he just had the whole Fuller lawsuit preying on his mind at the time and was taking it out on the auditionees, but either way it was fucking brilliant. Especially the two times when he didn't even give any comments but just stared people off the stage.
I can't believe 'Crazy Dave' got a yellow slip though - for anyone who didn't see it, he was an explosion of bad singing, 'zany' dancing and general annoyingness ("Look - I'm not wearing any shoes! Isn't that weird?!!"). In other words, an american Chico. God help us all.
Newble out.

Cowell was fantastic; Abdul's reaction when that guy asked if she wanted to get engaged was incredible, the "entrepreneur" with the matching pyjamas was genuinely disturbing.... Gonna be a great series.

They are getting into a lot of hot water for asking that "guy" if he was a guy. Crazy Dave was excellent as was the girl with the crazy sun tan. I'm surprised they didn't put a notice on the screen not to adjust the brightness. The ukranian stripper was excellent. Do you guys have "The Best Week Ever" on VH1? It's a bunch of comedians/celeb types reviewing the events of the past week similar to I love the 90s/80s/70s. Very funny.
