Question:<\/strong> What do Stevie Wonder and Gloria Estefan have in common?<\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong> Unless you’re Stevie Wonder or Gloria Estephan, it’s hard as hell to sing one of their songs.<\/p>\n And last night’s American Idol proved it.<\/p>\n The first half of the show was painful,<\/p>\n Simply painful,<\/p>\n And I blame the producers of American Idol.<\/p>\n They should know how krappy the show is going to be when you have some of the lesser talent still in the show trying to sing that hard stuff.<\/p>\n Two hours of my life wasted (don’t go there people ! ),<\/p>\n Watching even the talented singers struggle at times.<\/p>\n Terrible I say !!!<\/p>\n What an embarassing way to start the Final 12 shows …<\/p>\n With incredibly, pathetic performances.<\/p>\n Now I know … <\/p>\n In past Idol seasons,<\/p>\n Someone good unexpectedly gets kicked off,<\/p>\n Before they should.<\/p>\n And there is the argument that if you make it tough in the beginning,<\/p>\n Maybe you can show how bad some of the lesser talent really is …<\/p>\n And they can get kicked off,<\/p>\n Instead of the better talent.<\/p>\n However,<\/p>\n I think ratings for last night’s second half of the show will be down, <\/p>\n Because they started the show with the weaker singers,<\/p>\n And people tuned out. <\/p>\n Also,<\/p>\n Meesa thinks,<\/p>\n That the producers are clueless when it comes to how this voting stuff works at this stage.<\/p>\n I’ve watched enough television in my lifetime …<\/p>\n To know there’s a good chance,<\/p>\n That what’s going to happen here,<\/p>\n Is just the opposite …<\/p>\n Of what the producers might have intended.<\/p>\n You see …<\/p>\n Based on the show’s performances,<\/p>\n Either Kellie, Melissa or Kevin should get the boot.<\/p>\n And though I’m a Kellie fan,<\/p>\n Her performance might be the worst I have ever seen in a Final 12 show,<\/p>\n It was awful.<\/p>\n Even I didn’t vote for her last night.<\/p>\n She should be the one gone.<\/p>\n Though …<\/p>\n I don’t thing she will be,<\/p>\n As she as a bit of a following.<\/p>\n So then what about Kevin?<\/p>\n Chicken Little sucked too,<\/p>\n
