American Idol again?

Count me among those who cannot handle this top 36 stuff. I don't recall things being so boring before. Just shove the top 12 in front of me and make me pick a couple favorites. It's really difficult to compartmentalize such a big group. We need the black girl, the male person of color, the heavily painted female that is interesting to look at, the sweet girl, the super faggy guy, the white male who thanks Jesus and his wife, the person of questionable age, the boy that is too young for the mothers to be thinking about him naked, the musician who is true to his or her sound and wants to make every theme correspond, one more black girl to split the black girl vote, the single mom who really wants this so she can make a better life for her baby, and Danny Noriega. I'm still pretty pissed off about Danny Noriega.

I want my Country Night, I want my Ford commercials, and I want to see the contestants crying because they get to meet Patti LaBelle. I did not sign up for thirty-six separate bios. I think Danny Gokey has no power to his voice. His eyewear choices are questionable. I think that Normund Gentle is really funny. I think that Adam Lambert needs a shower. I won't care about this show until the Wild Card round, and if Anoop is not given another opportunity, I will be disappointed.

Kara is the best thing about this season so far. I think between her and Simon we are all going to get a lesson on what "commercial" really means. Read Jacob's recaps at www.televisionwithoutpity.com for more swearing.

So good to see you posting! My vote for possible Wild Card goes to Mishavonna or Kai so far. It seems that the post performance comments may come back to bite a few of the contestants.
