So American Idol finished last week, and for the first time ever I missed the result show. Needless to say, I was not disappointed that I missed it. This season on Idol has not excited me as passed seasons did. Yes, I was a fan of Crystal B. and Lee D. from the beginning and was excited to hear that they made it to the top two, yet that was not enough motivation. As I have stated before in my blog, American Idol is one of the shows that acts as a bonding experience between my family and I. It is a time out of the week where I actually sit down and bond with my parents. Turns out the week during the final episodes my parents where away on vacation. Which probably resulted in why I did not watch the last moments.
Either way I can say Idol was a disappointment for me. Lee came out as the champion, which was all well deserved. I was a fan of “MamaSocks,” but it was only right that the individual who came from nothing and worked at a paint store took home the prize. One thing I can say that did excite me about Idol was its Ford advertisements during the show. I am now totally convinced to buy the Ford Fiesta. It is cute, little and good on gas.
Overall, I feel that American Idol will continue to go down hill. Last year they choose to hire a fourth judge, Cara, which did upset my viewing pleasure. This year they got rid of Paula who was always excited and sympathetic toward the contestants and replaced her with Ellen who is funny, but honestly what does she really know about music other than if it sounded good or not. Finally, it was Simons last season on the show. I have heard talk about replacing his spot with Elton John, another one with a British accent. Still Idol is not the same as it was. I don’t think anyone can replace Simons brutal honesty. We’ll see if I tune in next year.
