Idol Thoughts, XII, XXVII



Well, that was a rather lackluster finale, don’t you think? I guess we cannot expect much when the whole season was lackluster. I thought none of the video packages particularly funny (except maybe the bit about Nicki’s wigs) and none of the performances wowed me. I do have some questions, however: Did someone leave Frankie Valli out in the rain and he shrank? Was Mariah lip-syncing? Paula showed up when a contestant sang her song but she couldn’t be bothered to show up for Randy’s farewell? Was it just me or was that whole Aretha Franklin singing in New York just weird? Where was Jimmy? And was that Prince Harry in one of the audience shots?

I’d like to be happy for Candice but last night she confirmed to me what a diva bitch she is. For example… when asked which their favorite Ford mission was, for Candice it was playing car football (Kree chose visiting the children’s hospital). For example… EVERYONE knows that whoever is chosen as their mentor not only gets a free trip to the finale but also a car, so who did Candice chose? Her GRANDMOTHER. For example… her first words after being pronounced the winner? Not a shout-out to her fans or her family or even the guy in the sky? No, her first words were. “Three years.” Yeah, you’re a bitch, Candy-Girl, and I give it “three years” before you are back on Redneck Island selling time shares again.

And there we go, another season done and yes I shall be back for more next year. In the meantime, this blog will return to its regularly scheduled programming…

  1. I agree- strange finale. And poor little Frankie Valli! I hated myself for saying to my cat "He must be 80!" then I realized everyone was probably saying that (although perhaps not to their cats).

    Aretha was disappointing. She sounded bored. Love how she gave away the results though.

    I've enjoyed your Idol posts, and your other posts too. Congrats on your one year anniversary.
