Our family has enjoyed American Idol together these past two weeks. We actually missed the first season, but we've been loyal watchers ever since. The bride had never enjoyed the preliminary stuff until this year, but the rest of us had always found it to be entertaining. She's changed her mind this season.
While some of the talent has been as good or better than what we've seen before, there seems to still be alot of people out there who think they can sing. Why is there not someone in these peoples' lives to be real with them? They need someone, before they get critiqued by Simon, to sit down and say, "it's just not there, try something else, anything else."
One thing I've noticed this year is that more of the wanna-be-contestants are being honest and saying that they just wanted to be on television. We've known that was the case all along, but at least they're coming out and saying it now.
Remember Leroy Wells from Tuesday night? He was the head-bobbing, gibberish-speaking, "can you dig it" guy. His "performance", which Simon deemed "ridiculous", was taped in New Orleans sometime this past summer. We're not sure if Leroy was able to see his television debut. Turns out he was arrested January 5 on charges of assault and firing a weapon, and is serving time in a Mobile prison. Man, I thought we had our William Hung for 2005.....
