American Idol Top 24

Although I don't usually follow American Idol, for some reason this year I seem to be addicted. I suppose it may be a replacement habit now that I'm not smoking. Tonight was the first cuts of the top 24 and I have to (for once) agree with America's choices to go.

First to go was Garret who Simon Cowell seems to think needs more sunlight. A decent singer, but definitely not among the stars in this years talent pool. The second guy cut was Colton who claims he looks like lesbionic comedienne Ellen Degeneres. Now there's something to be proud of!
The ladies seem to have a larger group of actually really good talent, but the first two cut were definitely not the cream of the crop. Trade show model Amy should take her rack and head to Vegas where she will certainly enjoy a sucessful career flogging anything at all. Speaking of models... plus size model Joanne was a decent singer, but too plus sized for an American audience that hasn't yet fully grasped the plus sized fat epidemic that is sweeping that country.

There is some great talent and the picture above shows my top three choices for guy and girl marked with the green star. In the coming weeks watch for Kady and Kristy Lee to be the next girl cuts and Jason Yeager (cute, if you like cheese) and the flaming and Proud Mary, Danny Noriega.
