Our theme this week is “music of the American Idols.” The requirement is to sing songs winners performed on the show or from their post-Idol albums. A wide open field of choices yet what we got was ballads from the depths of the underworld.
Wednesday night was ripe with puzzling and bad song choices, contestants phoning in performances and boring (sounding scripted) judges’ comments to keep the train rolling along. I scanned back at some of my Season 11 rants and saw a similar boring night occurred during Top 7 week. I’d asked, “Does anyone even care to win this thing? It was like watching peeps ‘rock out’ in slow motion…Where is the passion, people?” Ditto for this week.
