Inside Your Heaven
I forgot to mention that, last night, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje and I finally watched the last two episodes of this most recent season of American Idol. It seemed worse than previous seasons' final episodes. Maybe it's just because I'm getting tired of the show, but I seem to recall the one with Ruben and Clay, for example, being better. Of course, the songs that are written specifically for the show pretty much always suck, with the absolute worst being that "Every time you touch me, I become a hero" or whatever that they did for the charity CD this season.
I think that the show needs more sarcastic contestants. About the only time any of them will ever talk back is when the judges say something negative, and even then it's usually with something moronic, like Justin Guarini responded to a negative comment from Simon Cowell by asking the audience, "Okay, but what do YOU think?" No one ever seems to come up with a snappy answer to Ryan Seacrest's totally inane questions ("So, what's it like coming from [whatever backwoods hick town the contestant is from] to LA, and being up here on stage?"), for instance. I wonder if the relative docility of the contestants is due to something in their contracts. The thing is, when you watch the interviews with the Jaded Journalist, some (but not all) of the contestants show traces of having genuine senses of humor. But then, on the show itself, it's all zombie-like "This is the greatest thrill of my life!" crap. I guess it could just be the pressure of it all. I mean, I know that, even if I had pages of snappy retorts planned out, I'd probably choke when I was actually in front of the cameras and the audience.
I'm not totally sure why so many bad singers agreed to come on the show again. I guess they figure any exposure is good exposure. And what sixteen-through-thirty-year-old would want to be accompanied by Kenny G? Of course, you could say the same thing about Barry Manilow, and he got a LOT of exposure on the show's third season.
That said, I guess the right person won. I don't have anything against Carrie Underwood, although I can't help thinking of "underwear" whenever I hear her last name, because I have the mind of a five-year-old. Maybe now that she's famous, she can market "Underwood Underwear."
Critics would give my life a C+.
Well, there's a bit of excitement in your life, at least that's a redeeming quality. I mean honestly, whose life is going to be filled with car chases, love triangles and time bombs besides James Bond? And who honestly gets a sequel of their life made? Well, just as a life without these things is an average life, this is also the average rating for movies. Sad, huh? Critics in general think movies are a C+. Well, to each his own. Don't worry, while your life is completely filled with movie clichés, it's still got enough to be interesting. Anymore and you might drive yourself crazy, as well as absolutely everyone with the misfortune to lay eyes upon you.

I don't really know anything about Solomon Grundy, aside from the fact that he was mentioned in that Crash Test Dummies song.

wow, im speechless except for wow...

The one cool thing about the lousy songs that people write specifically for the show (but not "When You Tell Me..." itself) is that the judges never seem to like them either.
