I will watch American Idol usually while I am doing something else, like reading or folding clothes. I like the music part of the show but hate the nonsense that surrounds the people singing. A couple of things.
- People like the British guy Simon because Randy, the black dude, and Paula Abdul just say the same thing with each person. They say it was alright, they liked it, and never really tell the truth. And ever time Simon opens his mouth he is honest and direct. People like that. I know I like it.
- I hate when singers spread their legs and squat while singing the song. I have no idea why they do it and it makes them look awkward.
- One of the girls on the show sang ?Against All Odds?, a great song by Phil Collins. When Randy said his peace (or is it piece), he looked at Paula and said something about he had the pleasure of working with Mariah Carey. I was like ?huh??, it?s a classic Phil Collins song. I thought for a moment Randy was thinking of something else. But I did a quick search on this thing called the web and found out that Mariah Carey did a remake of it. So I went on to iTunes, where you can listen to a quick sound bite of any song they have for sale, and listened to it. Not bad. Say what you will about her, but Mariah Carey has a great voice. I still like the Phil Collins version better, but what do I know.
