American Idol is Pure Comedy…with a Lil Bit of Singing

As much as it used to annoy me that the first 10 episodes of American Idol are pretty much full of horrible singing, it has become something that I find quite entertaining. Last night was possibly one of the funnier episodes with black folks acting a plum fool! Here are some high (or low) lights from Tuesday’s episode:

First up…is a “26-Years Old” Big Bird (seriously she waddles) who for some insane reason thinks she looks good and can sing. I don’t want to spoil the video so I’ll just say this, “Aw hell naw!” She seems like a sweet nice lady though.

Second up is a young lady who claims to “have the look and voice” American Idol is looking for but proceeds to butcher a song. The look on her face as she tries to hit the high note is classic. The clips of people saying thank you after being insulted was one of the most subtle yet hysterical things I’ve seen on this show.

The funny thing about the Alabama episode is that people were much nicer to the judges than in other cities…that is until Brandy came along. You would think that someone looking straight out the eighties singing “Like A Virgin” would already know they don’t stand a chance in hell…but self-denial is a powerful tool. This lady looks a little familiar to me, but then again there are a lot of corny people that look like her.

Who was your favorite Idol reject? Are these people really serious?

    The funny thing about American idol is some of these people are so bad it is almost hard to believe they are being for real and at the sametime you probably know someone who can’t sing that believe they can sing and will make it big.
