Commerciality

vovatSo it looks like American Idol has decided to retain some of its most annoying aspects this year, including:
1. Those incredibly cheesy group performances. Really, they're so obnoxiously corny that they make it harder to take the show and the contestants seriously. Who actually likes these performances, and who ever thought they would a good idea in the first place?
2. The forced servitude in Ford commercials. Come on, the show already seems to have more commercials than just about any other on television, and all kinds of product placement on top of that (couches shaped like the Coca-Cola logo, anyone?). Do they really need to force the contestants to be in additional commercials within the show itself? What's more, the audience actually APPLAUDS these commercials! Talk about feeding people crap and having them eat it up.
3. The No Curly Hair Rule. I only caught the end of last night's show, but I noticed that, like Leah last week, Jennifer Hudson had had her hair straightened. Looking at both of these people plus Kimberley Locke last season, it looks like some stylist has a bias against curly hair, not to mention glasses.
By the way, I want to get some new LiveJournal icons, but I'm not sure what to use. Any ideas?
