"Throw him in the lock-up 'til he's sober."


Ok, is anyone else following Canadian Idol? I mean any sober people?

What kind of crack is the Canadian voting public on? Have we become a country of toned-deaf, internet voting freaks?

The chick, Mellisa O'Neil? Ok, she is not bad, but the other two left in the competition? WTF?

Aaron Walpole, God love him. He can carry a tune but he turns every song into a lounge act. Can you say Cheesy?

And the dude from Newfoundland, Rex Goudie. I am sorry, but this dude could not carry a note in a bucket. Not even if he had a forklift.

I think RockStar INXS has the right idea. Give the public a vote for the bottom three but let the professionals decide who stays and who goes. Not some Drunken Sailor's pre-teen daughters.

Let's get these people detox'ed for next year, eh? It's embarrassing.

I think the Idol shows work on the premise that you can sell just about anything if you package it right. It doesn't matter if the winner has any talent - it only matters that the machine can sustain the celebrity status. It seems to be all about the Idol "brand". It is handy if the winner can carry a tune, but clearly it is about either the judges or the voting public choosing the best singer. The power of television is so scary sometimes, isn't it?
