Are You Kidding Me?

Last night, I watched the finale of American Idol. All season long, we’ve watched solid vocalist and performers get voted off…while folks like Federov and Carrie Underwood stayed alive.

Imagine my surprise when Carrie Underwood actually won the competition. And, Simon & Randy both picked her to win??? I think it’s rigged. They know Bo Bice will get a record deal and sell records without winning. Carrie Underwood, on the other hand, would never get a record contract outside of American Idol. She’s not got a good singing voice…she forces everything and ends up sounding like garbage. And, she’s got the stage presence of a piece of wood. She’s boring to watch and painful to listen to.

Poor Bo Bice. By far, he was the best performer. There were better singers. But, he’s the best performer. Of course, it was like the last couple of Presidential elections…voting between the lesser of two evils. So, I shouldn’t have been surprised when America got this wrong. We just can’t figure this voting thing out. Some day we will figure it all out.
