American Idol Almost Had Me

Despite my questionable taste in both music and TV, readers of the blog have known that I’ve managed to avoid the American Idol phenomena over the past five years. Sure I see clips on The Soup and Best Week Ever. Sure I’ve enjoyed a Kelly Clarkson song here or there but really that’s been the extent of my Idolatry. This year I was beginning to feel a change. The success of super freak Sanjaya actually had me thinking about sitting down and watching the season finale as long as he was in it. I would love nothing better then to see the machine that is American Idol be brought down by its own massive ego. Unfortunately Sanjaya got the boot last night so we’ll be treated to quotes and articles about how America always get’s it right. On the bright side I’ll be able to go another year without watching a single episode of Idol.
