American Idol Guest Blogger: Taylor takes on Scotty!!

So you may have noticed that I've kind of lost interest in American Idol as the season progressed.  To me, the characters were wooden, the judges were lame, and the whole show just got boring.  So now that it's over for this year, I couldn't bring myself to write about it at all.  BUT - my wife enjoyed the season and (as you'll soon see) had strong opinions about it.  So without further ado, welcome my first guest blogger ... TAYLOR!!!!


OK, I've needed an entire 24 hours to pass before I could talk about it...

[sigh] Scotty is a nice kid, but he's not worthy of the AI title. Period. I knew he won it when they showed live shots from their hometowns - Scotty's fans FILLED an ENTIRE STADIUM!!! Obviously I don't see (and most importantly, HEAR) what those fans see. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, the show had to know that he's been leading the voting probably since day one so they knew to make the rest of the show AWESOME & kept the crowning until the very end and didn't really focus on it!! I LOVE BEYONCE!!! And how about JLo shaking it like nobody's business??!!?? Oh, and Tim McGraw -- I was hoping Faith would join Lauren, but Carrie was great. Interesting how I like the sound of Lauren better than Carrie, but Lauren can't hit the notes Mrs. Underwood can. Come on Lauren, you can be a star if you'll go for it! And she's only 16!!!

The only way the show could have been better [minus the OBVIOUS fact that Scotty won] would have been to have Celine and Pia sing together! Wouldn't that have been TV worthy? [Observation: Scotty & Pia lack personality. Scotty brilliantly displayed that when he won.] Yikes, strong feelings from Taylor.

Another thought - these judges created an incredible cast for us to watch. Even though I think their criticisms could have been more pointed [wait a second, did they criticize?] the judges did a great job selecting the top 20 or however many there were.

Will I allow Scotty's win to stop me from watching next season??? That is the question...the answer: If JLo stays on, I'll watch!
