Ding, dong, the witch is dead!
Okay, time to come clean. I’ve been watching American Idol this season. This was supposed to be my ‘off’ season — I’ve consistently watched only every other season of that show. But Lacey had to keep showing me “just a couple of the really good performances”, and before I knew it, I cared. Not enough to vote, as I have on some previous seasons. But enough to watch every damn episode since. Oof.
I thought about blogging about it back when I first got into it, but didn’t get around to it. When Lacey and I honestly couldn’t tell whether Sanjaya Malakar was male or female during one of his early performances (I think this might be it), I almost blogged about that, but didn’t get around to it. Later, I felt like saying something about the girl who was bawling during Sanjaya’s peformance, but again, didn’t get around to it. Now, Sanjaya is finally gone, and I just wanted to publicly express my relief that America finally woke up from its collective drunken stupor, and voted him off.
It does take a little bit of the controversy out of the show, and now there’s nobody left that I sincerely want voted off, but I’ll still keep watching till the end. I’ll probably even vote next week, with their whole “Idol Gives Back” or whatever (votes ==> charitable contributions). I expect Melinda Doolittle or Jordin Sparks to win the competition, but based on how long Sanjaya managed to stay on the show, it’s really up in the air.
Anyways, I doubt I’ll post anything more on this subject. Now, let the finger-pointing and name-calling begin, since I publicly admitted to watching/being into this show. For the record, I will watch “So You Think You Can Dance” when it comes on again, as well. Guilty pleasures, I guess. I’ll probably blog about it once, since I never got around to it last year.

[…] Jordin Sparks. I was happy about this, as she was my favorite since fairly early on. Last month, I mentioned that I expected either Jordin or Melinda to win. Blake beating Melinda seemed like a fluke, but his […]
