America Needs an Idol!

For the third week now, I've been less than impressed with the entire ensemble. First, what is it with the Beatles songs? Give it a rest. Let them sing what they want! Still, if you want to call yourself a singer, you gotta sing. No one is in a position of calling their own shots, yet.

On the other hand, why not let them play to their strengths?

Anyway, of the bunch, David Cook seems to have the most talent. He's got a Scott Stapp kind of voice and has pretty good stage presence. Amanda Overmyer thinks she's cool. She's not, and she's not that good. Kristi Lee Cook continues to disappoint. Carly Smithson continues to make bad choices with her songs. And Rami, Syesha, and Jason will likely advance on their looks.

More than that, Randy, Paula, and Simon are just annoying. Their commentary is worse than the performances. Simon is often right, in my opinion, but is such an asschute he diminishes the point of his comments. If I have to hear "check it out . . ." from Randy any longer I'll go insane. And Paula . . . trim your bangs!

David Cook should win it. He's been the most consistent and has the best natural talent. I think when allowed to finally let go, Carly could do well. Maybe Jason as well. But on a scale of 1 to 10, David's an 8. The rest are, at best, a 5.

BTW, Dan Deibert over at the D Spot live blogs the telecast. Check it out and join in. It's a lot of fun!
