I've been watching American Idol... Or listening, at least. For instance, last night I turned on my TV and listened to the perfomances while I made lunch, etc. It was ok, but not thrilling. Last season, I happened to hear Kelly Clarkson and I was hooked. This season no performance has grabbed me the same way.
Speaking of Miss Clarkson, in case you missed it she sang her new single tonight. Thanks to Dave I found out today that Christina helped write the song. After listening to it, that fact was obvious.
Kelly started off a little shaky, but when she got into the heavy stuff, her voice took over and she sounded like she did at the end of last season's competition. When she was done, I realized I had that same stupid smile on my face, the one I never noticed until she had finished. She still sounds great, and I'm looking forward to hearing what else they did with her on her new CD. So far, they taught her to dance, taught her to wear tight fitting clothes that lift her boobs and make them jiggle. I guess that's what it takes to make an American Idol these days. Ah well... In any case, I'm looking forward to hearing her new disc.
