OK, so I *might* be obsessed...

So I ranted and raved about American Idol last night. Of all the things I've written here, that one got me the most feedback. So, since it's popular, let me continue.

I got an email from Kirk E. and we went back and forth about the show and what happened. Personally, I think Nikki is a talentless hack. It's said best here: "Nikki is like some third rate talent show hooker". And that about sums it up for me. Was she better than the average American? Maybe. Should she have lasted aother week over Tamyra? No way in hell. I mean seriously. However, Kirk says Tamyra doesn't deserve to be the idol either. I disagreed, until I saw the aformentioned post where Leslie, the author, said "[Tamyra is] not a different kind of talent than we already have." I can agree with that,a dn that alone might make me thing she shouldn't be *the* Idol.

However, why does Kelly deserve to win? (and, yes I think she does) She has more raw talent, more personality, and I think, reminds all of us more of ourselves. She looks out at the cheering crowd like "WTF? why the hell are they cheering for me? I mean hey, I'm from Texas! The same Texas the laughable Cowboys are from!" She rolls her eyes like we do, is goofy and funny like we and our friends are, and is an all around American girl. And hey, for all I know, maybe it's all a facade; she does it really well, though.

Finally, Kirk reminded me that "it is subjective, ... isn't that what the WHOLE point of this...?" I agree, that is the point, and so I say the top two should have been Kelly and Tamyra, in that order.

And Justin? He can take his M.J. impersonating, skinny as all hell, ugly clothes wearing, floppy haired ass back to doing weddings.

So. Umm, yeah. Feel free to comment!
