okay so the american idol final was on last night... i have to admit i am a fan... maybe not of the music so much, even though i love bad covers, but i do like the show... it's kind of like watching the state of music today wrapped up in a tidy two hour package... it's totally fascinating to me... they wheeled out all the oldies last night... hall and oates, alice cooper, the bee gees, joe cocker, chicago (i had to get up and make an excuse not to be subjected to that medley i have to admit) and it was also simon cowells last show... and i love simon cowell... i think he is really funny with his comments and his shirts almost open to the navel... i have a secret dream to be judged by him... i would love to know what he thought of my version of 'my heart will go on'...
i was slightly disappointed by the winner, lee de-borning-as-fuck... he was creamed in the lead up show by crystal bowersox, especially in her last song and i think everyone knew it... except of course the american public at large... who love boring... they love that bland rock type voice like the mayers of this world... i mean david cook... come on... yawn... that guy should not be famous for singing... maybe for making coffee or being the worlds best waiter or something but it's a crime against music that some of these people get to make records for a living... but hey whatever it was a great end to the season, and it will not be the same without simon cowell and i do wonder what that will mean for the show, but the song of the night had to be 'pants on the ground' by general larry platt... this song is huge in our house and it's a song i wish i had written... this guy is amazing and he deserves everything good thats coming at him... i just hope he owns the rights to the song...
