the awesome/terrifying freedom

no, i have not seen american idol! i know i know, it's the very show that put my blog on the map. i'm such a traitor. i'm watching it tonight. i will have my computer on my lap and i will type as i watch. i can't wait to see 'gay delusion' in it's horrific grandeur again. who will be the next closeted homo to take the throne?

i was in barnes and noble last night and picked up simon cowell's book 'i don't mean to be rude but..' and was interested to read his analysis of the first season, and his brutal breakdown of the various contestants. he sums of justin guarini as being tragically average, and gives an interesting portrait of kelly clarkson as calculating and driven - and says that tamyra had no chance of winning because she was too perfect, which left the audience feeling that she didn't need their help to have a career.
