Idol Talk

I'm not sure why the producers of American Idol haven't already fired Paula Abdul from the show. 'Cos given me, I would have done so long ago. She's neither a top-rate singer nor is she any fantabulous eye-candy. First of all, I don't even know why they bothered to pluck her out of obscurity. I mean, she was such a has-been and her only hit single was only 'Rush Rush' from eons ago. And I actually have the album from which the song is found! Horrors. (But it was a cassette. Yes, THAT long ago.)

I mean, who is she to comment on other people's singing when hers isn't even that good to begin with??? Seriously, weren't there any other better candidates for judges???

So even if you're not that accomplished a singer, you should at least give some decent and interesting comments which any layman can give, right? But no. All she does is annoy me with her non-committal comments which only aims to please the audience. I hate how she's always making stupid unconstructive comments and trying to be Little Miss Nice all the time. Every so often, when it's her turn to speak, she'll go on a spiel about how proud she is of that person and how she's a fan of so-and-so's voice, or how that was a world-class performance (when it obviously wasn't). Like cut the crap ok? I'm just waiting, with bated breath, to hear what Simon Cowell has to say. So can we move along now?

Now Cowell I really like. In fact, he's really the star of the show if you ask me. At least he dares to disagree and he's not afraid of voicing his opinion however unpopular it may be. I would even go as far to say that Cowell is helluva sexy--knows what he wants, totally in control of the situation, witty, acerbic and powerful. And most of the time, I agree with his comments.

I also love the on-going bickering Cowell has with host Ryan Seacrest. The latter's quite a dish as well. Slurp. Those two are like this old bickering couple who have a love-hate relationship with each other. Pretty amusing.

As for the last judge Randy Jackson, all he does is say "Yo man, what's up?" But at least he's not as irritating as Paula. Still I think some of his opinions are a bit off the mark.

Anyway, I think this season of American Idol is quite interesting. My favs are Anwar, Mario and Nadia. Anwar is sssoooo cool. I want him to be my music teacher. His rendition of Moon River and What A Wonderful World was awesome. Such original arrangements! I've never felt the compulsion to vote before, and he's the first I would pick up the phone for if I could!

Mario has this charm about him. His eyes are electrifying and can really melt girls' hearts!

Nadia is just the epitome of cool. Funky, confident, great singer, and plenty of stage presence. She's the only girl that I like. The rest of the girls are just unexciting and boring. There's one highly annoying one, Mikhala, who reminds me of Fran Drescher from this old sitcom "The Nanny". She looks and sounds like Drescher with that nasal drawl of hers! The similarity is so uncanny!

Anyway, that's my mindless Friday musings.
