Idol Thots 19March09

Alexis? really? are you serious? i admit, Tuesday's "Jolene" wasn't her strongest performance, but she was waaaaay better than Michael and Scott. i don't think she was top 3 or 4, but top 10 should've been a no brainer.

this season seems a lot more produced to me than past seasons. the judges especially seem overly fake. all that whispering and cat-fighting and "will they save?" stuff is un-needed in my book. it really feels un-reality. the judges are just play-acting a prewritten role and trying to manufacture drama for ratings.

i think i would find it a lot more interesting if the contestants sang and the judges offered TRUE feedback - good and bad - and let America decide what to do with the contestant's performance and the judge's feedback. now i don't know if Simon is telling the truth or just trying to sway the show for ratings.

next week, Motown! i was trying to think if anyone would struggle but don't really think so. Megan and Scott came to mind, but there are enough varied styles and performers that i'm sure there is something for everyone. Megan could totally rock one of those old girlgroup songs. Scott will make anything sound like AM radio and of course, it doesn't matter what the theme is for Adam...

Thots?
