Disappointing and Even Depressing Idol Result Show
Disappointing and Even Depressing Idol Result Show, What with Saving Private Sanjaya and All… by Roxanne McDonald

Not. too. happy… with the first results show, and fearing that we are going to have to endure this misery every week. |
Pen poised and ready to be pissed….
How anticlimactic was the first top twelve American Idol results show? The only redeeming segment was when the beautiful Diana Ross appeared and performed “More Today than Yesterday.”
With the opening performance of all twelve kids mismatched (did you see Lakisha’s look at Sanjaya? LOL) and doing a hokey and commercial rendition of “Baby Love” and “Stop in the Name of Love” (better at that moment as Stop in the Name of All that is Sacred in the Music Biz”?), methinks we did not even get our fifty cents worth (or whatever it costs to call in a vote).
And speaking of commercialism…. Usually, the Ford commercials featuring Idol contestants are pretty decent (not as hot as their speeding Mustang ads, but good
enough, usually). This Ford ad was odd. And did anyone ask Stephanie and Brandon and others how they would feel doing a stereotype bit, complete with do-rags and ghetto blaster?
Poor Brandon. He was humble, saying how he expected to be let go as he screwed up his lyrics, which, he admitted, is a Cardinal sin for American Idol contestants….
But again with the saving Sanjaya?!?! Are we going to have to go through this every friggin week?
Writer Ron Lemon at Reality TV Calendar (who/which is the source for all that is intelligent TV discussion) reminds us that if there is a conspiracy—what with the automatic dialers, people could do the same for contestants other than Sanjaya. But I think I recall how those redialer systems were found out in the first or second season, and American Idol figured out a way around them?
And yes, we, too, could cheat, could hog the lines so that no one else can get through to vote, but we have a modicum of ethics…don’t we?
