American Idol, 02242011

The American Idol finally completed its most intense and grueling search for the top 12 girls and top 12 boys to compete for the coveted American Idol title! This year seems to have more talented boys and girls that competed, and the age group was even lowered to 15! Wow! Is that not too young for someone to compete in such a show? Can these youngsters cope with the pressure to be in the limelight and the constant pushing of everyone? No, I do not think so! The American Idol folks and parents of wannabe singers should leave the 15 year olds to play and be children! Even though kids grow fast in today's society, I think these youngsters should be left alone to mature! True, they will be earning big bucks, but is that what will make the kids happy? It will make the parents happy because their kids will be on top of the world, and so do the parents! And what will that take the kids into? Drugs, and more drugs since they will have unlimited access to money! Look at some of the young actors and actresses that have been in and out of rehabs and jail! They are definitely out of control, and a nuisance to society! Am I right? Of course, I am right!

Let us talk about the judges. Randy, "The Dawg" Jackson....You should see his facial expression when someone is singing. It is priceless! And it seems that Randy is trying to fill Simon's shoes! I do not think that The Dawg can fill Simon's obnoxious character! The Dawg is nicer and more mellow! Why was he not let go by the producers? Did they want someone that knows what the show is all about? Maybe, maybe not! I wonder if he ever got more money for staying? I also wonder if he is making more than the two new judges? Hmmm....Will we ever know?

Let us go now to Jennifer Lopez. It seems that she has a very sensitive side that people are seeing now. She even cried when one contestant that is a caregiver to his girlfriend was eliminated! She said that she wanted him to go through but Randy and Steven Tyler vetoed her! JLo even wanted to quit, but she was persuaded by the other two judges to get her bearings back! Wow! What a drama! What an act! These people can really make a dramatic thing. After all, thay are actors! Drama is a good thing to viewers, the show can get the sympathy of viewers. More drama and acting, more viewers, ratings go up! When ratings go up, more money! Right??

How about Steven Tyler? Just looking at him makes me laugh! His facial expressions are something else! And when he sees a beautiful contestant, he is all attentive especially if she can render the song to perfection! And he always close his eyes and seems to be savoring the song when the song is beautifully sang! Is that a sign of a good artist and musician? I do not know...you guys tell me! But I did not realize that he is a foul mouth person! On the other hand, why should I be surprised? After all, he is a rocker! And rockers are famous for foul language, sex, booze and women, is it not? Anyway, he seems to be fun to watch with all his different facial expressions! I find him amusing and entertaining, with or without a bad mouth!

This season will be interesting with a new set of judges and a whole lot of talented singers! Who says American Idol cannot function without Simon Cowell? Simon Cowell, American Idol is still alive....Nenenenenene!!!!!!! Good riddance to you, the American Idol Jerk!!!!
