American Idol-atry

I'm not really a huge reality tv person. I did start watching the Amazing Race this past year, since it keeps winning Emmys and I wanted to see what the hype is about. I do love Top Model, but I consider that my dirty pleasure. But over the past few years, I have faithfully watched American Idol. Mind you, it only takes me about 20 minutes to watch the whole thing on DVR, since I don't give a crap about backstories, mentors, or judges comments. I just want to hear the performances, and I have my own opinion on whether the person did well or not.

This year, the media frontrunner, and my personal favorite, is Crystal Bowersox. The girl can SING. I flove her. In my office, we have a lot of die-hard Idol fans - we have a pool every week to see who goes home. This week is final four, and the guys in my office are actually thinking Crystal is going home because she's "not marketable". Why can't people vote purely on performance? Ugh.

Anyway, last night, she sang "I'm Alright" from Caddyshack. Yes. Caddyshack.
I hope people vote for her just for that alone. Awesome.
