More on Idol Trouble

In further investigation I have found that there is a website that I am NOT going to post at my blog to perpetuate the on going problem of voting for the worst singer therefore messing up what used to be my wife’s program called American Idol.

So it seems a bunch of degenerates have gotten together to see if they can vote for the worst singer possible and therefore screw up the odds of the better singers just as they did last year and voted in the gray haired crooner called Taylor Hicks. This guy’s records sales are so bad that even William Hung has sold more CDs than him.

Speaking of Taylor Hicks; Hicks seems to think that his style of music is just what America want to hear and I’m sorry old bean but your style went out with Billy Joel and “The Boss” Personally I hated The Boss (Bruce Springsteen) and other crappy – sappy songs like Freebird too. Hicks was and still is nothing but a lounge singer and the judges tried only to save face for the people of the country to try and let other’s know that we’re all not stupid.

But this is an orchestrated plan to make everyone in the country look stupid and if this isn’t just clear evidence of one more time than I don’t know what is. Simon Cowell has said in plenty of forums that if a “certain someone wins”, and we all he’s talking about Senjyahya, that he will not be returning next season.

In my opinion he is the Executive Producer of the show and he change the rules if wants to. Why not come up with a new system that makes it that to vote you have to be a member of the American Idol website, you have to log on to vote and you have only one vote PER PERSON.

OR. Everyone can call on the telephone but a computer checks the number and/or IP address that it’s coming from and limits it to ONE VOTE per call. No more calling in over and over as many times as you want and we can let the best man or woman win, not some little dweeb with a planted crying girl in the audience. They may not be able to say that “Thirty Million People Called in to Vote” but who cares!!! It’s just a TV show and people will still watch. It still gets a 9 point rating in the ratings, that’s killer; that’s better than the President gets on most of his speeches.

(In layman’s terms: 9% of all TV’s on are watching American Idol rather than anything else when it’s on, I’d say that’s pretty good)

So the conclusion is simple, loose the automated programs that doing all of this bogus voting or we loose a pretty nice show that started out to give talented people a chance to make it in the world like Kelly Clarkston and a few others. Once it got to Ruben Studdard I even though to myself, being a guy that weighed in at 385 pounds, who the hell aspires to be that large no matter how good your voice is. And then we got into the Disney boy and little girls thinking he was so cute; HEY! The kid from Texas was far cuter and it was not America’s choice at all. Last it got to Hicks and that was the last straw. If it turns out that these people try this shit again then Simon and the other Producers have to so something and fast before the season is over or there won’t be a next season.

One more suggestion from my wife who’s right next to me and is an avid fan and would join in a flash: If necessary, make it so that only members of the Idol Website can vote and each vote costs $0,50 and also every vote is tied to the IP address from which voter from which it came from so that we know who is voting for who, TOTAL TRANSPARENCY.
My wife is a pretty smart woman and that’s why she keeps me around.

That’s the Lazlo Report for March 27, 2007
