The seventh season of "American Idol" premieres tonight. Will you be watching, or are you over it?
I don't know. Right now, I am not in the best of moods at all.
I think American Idol turned me into a bit of a reality show sadist. Never, in a million years, would I insist that my shitty voice was great or throw temper tantrums within a ten mile radius of a camera. I understand just as well as anyone else that the sudden re-indoctrination into reality can be brutal and jarring but for christ's sake people... the fricken camera's rolling!
I do kind of feel for the teens who where there with their parents. Perhaps it's really difficult to be honest yet tactful with them about their lack of talent but to willingly allow them to experience such scrutiny, while it's being taped for posterity, to be shown for infinity in syndication, is worse than telling them yourself. Way to slack.
