Other, at Least Vaguely, Related Stuff

Seriously, folks, wouldn’t you rather be a Ninja Warrior than an American Idol?

Just wondering.

Anyway, Randy Thomas feels for some of the singers. Randy’s a nice guy. Cruelty doesn’t come naturally to him.

Missy makes the right choice. I’ve never heard her sing, and she might be wonderful, but the odds are against her. Knowing when not to subject yourself to the cruelties of others is a wonderful survival instinct.

From USA Today’s Idol Chatter, comes this:

Reflecting on the long and painful night, I’m with you. Idol really needs to lay off the grotesques and the more seriously delusional hopeless cases. It’s not hard to laugh at some of the untalented singers—the ones like The Hotness or Melissa Stavros, who you know are pretty unflappable, impregnable in their egotism. But some of these others, Nick Zitsmond or even Big Red, and definitely the two buddies, Kenneth and Jonathan—you feel they’re going to be scarred for life, and by expressing any amusement at all, you almost feel complicit in causing their misery. Not a pleasant feeling.

So, Rosie is free to mock pretty much whomever she chooses. She can make little fake Chinese sounds in making fun of an entire nation of people. She can, basically, be bitchy as she wants to be. But when the American Idol take shots at the hapless fools who, fully knowing the potential for public humiliation, come begging a spot in Hollywood, Rosie bares fangs and lets loose.

Maybe I should have named the site “iHateRosie.com.” It would have been a step closer to the truth, anyway.
