It's That Time Again...

Friday, March 24, 2006

This post is a little over due. But no matter.....

Its that time of the year again. The time when millions of people begin to plan their day to day schedules according to the viewing times of the latest American Idol programme.

I am sooooo included. Its just great fun to watch young undiscovered talents showing the world, actually America, what they've got and why THEY should be the next American Idol. Honestly, millions of people audition for this show. That's like 10 times more than the number of people who audition for Malaysian Idol. Maybe even more...

Anyway back to the topic. So we have millions of people. Throw in a ton of good talent, lots of confidence and the occasional weirdos and you get a reality show that will keep you rooted to your seats.

I like watching the audition rounds. You get to see people go in to the judging area with such high confidence that they will be the next american idol. Then coming out looking like their pet cat just died. Criticism from the judges comes in abundance I guess. Especially from Simon.

So here'e the thing. You either have it or you don't. I guess it has got to be their strong sense of self confidence then. I can't think of a better reason for most of them to go on national television and sing their lungs out. And suck real bad at it. I mean come on already. Like that guy who attempted to sing that Alladin theme song. Or that Clay Aiken look alike. Or the girl who sounded like a chipmunk. Or the girl who had those ridiculous viking-looking ponytails (She said Simon was gonna love her. How very, very, very wrong she was). Then there was that girl who dressed in that unbelievably tight lycra-ish suit. You know, the silver one. She looked..... Gosh, I can't even put it in words. At least those are the people thats make you laugh every once in a while. Hehe :)

Anyway, that was quite a while back. America has already chosen its final 12.
I'm too lazy to type out each of their names so go here for more details.

My personal favourites have got to be Chris, Ace, Katharine and Lisa. Chris and Katharine can definately sing. I like Ace but I don't think he's the best singer in the competition. He'll be going soon.... *sobs*.Lisa as well. She used to be better. But then again, its America's choice. Another 10 weeks or so and we'll get our new American Idol. Can't wait!
