American Idol

Okay it has come to my attention that American Idol is being manipulated by all parties. First Simon, Paula and Randy put thru a couple of so-so singers so it would make the show more interesting to the public. Then a group called Vote for the Worst is actually manipulating the nightly voting by voting not for the best singer but for the worst. This year it is Sanjaya who they all stand behind. Now this has me furious. Not because I think that Sanjaya is a horrible singer, I admit he hasn't really shown us anything this season but he does have a nice singing voice but he has to learn to sing louder and make sure that everyone can here him over the music. That is something he may learn but who knows some never do.

But what makes me so mad is that someone like Stephanie who can sing, who has shown us she can sing, who has not made any horrible mistakes since day one gets sent home before Sanjaya who week after week is told he is going home. There is not a male on this season who is better than the worst of the girls this season. Maybe that is one of the problems with Idol after all we have to have this 12 guys 12 girls deal to start and then break it down from their to wind up with 6 guys and 6 girls and to tell you the truth the worst of the 12 girls is better than the best of the 12 guys. The guys are just not bringing it this year. Chris Sligh is a very good singer yet he is trying to manipulate songs and it just isn't working. Blake is a good beat bopper but is that really what America wants? I mean if it is great. I enjoy Blake but I think his range of vocals is limited. When he can't sing he bops. As for the rest of the guys...

I can understand people voting for the person they like to look at but this is a contest about SINGING! not looks. You the voter are supposed to be voting for the best singer of that night. You the voter are not supposed to vote along party lines, for the worst or for any reason other than that singer did it for you. You may have a different version of who did it for you each night, 1 night I voted for Melinda, once for Lakisha, last season I voted for people who I hated and wanted gone simply because they were good. So I vote honestly. Can each of you look in your mirror and say the same thing? That is what this show is all about voting for who was the best that night. So lets try to do that for a change.

For all those Vote for the Worst people out there all I can say is I hope you are happy, you won and the rest of America lost including Stephanie who is a terrific singer. I can only hope she stumbles across this blog and realizes that America didn't vote her off they voted to keep Sanjaya on simple because its funny to do so.
