Hands Up....This is American Idol

So did you see the last American Idol telecast?

It was down to the top six. They have a new gimmick where the contestants sit in chairs that are surrounded with red lights. When they are chosen to go forward the lights turn green and they go out to perform. They have a new wrinkle where the last two people in the poll compete for the audience "twitter save." Now this is a bummer for the people sitting there when everyone else goes up to sing and you are a loser waiting for the sing off. It reminds me of the NBA or NFL draft where these kids go to the venue and wait and wait to get picked. That must suck.

Anyway it gets down to the last three. Joey who is the white hipster girl who dresses weird and plays the accordion and sings in a super-effected Betty Boop style voice. Ravyon who looks like John Legend and is a very smooth but weak singer. And Quentin the resident angry black man.

Quentin was called and got to sing. Now Quentin is all about the costumes and the attitude. The dude can't sing. He hasn't been in tune once in the entire competition. But the judges continue to mark on a curve and sort of practice American Affirmative Action Idol. Now don't get me wrong. Most of these idiots can't sing in tune. But Quentin is the worst still remaining and nobody is really telling him except Harry Connick Jr.

Now Harry is really the only judge since Simon who has any musical knowledge. In fact he used to cite chapter and verse as to what these kids need to do to improve. Until he was told to dial it back because the audience is just as stupid as the kids singing and don't want to hear what a vibrato is and just want to clap like seals on meth. Every once in a while Harry forgets and says what he really thinks. He did it this time when he told Quentin that the band overpowered him and his pitch was off again. Quentin was pissed and had his bitch face on.

Then of course little fanoick Ryan Seacrest had to make it worse. He asks him what does he think about the two people left to compete for the save. Quentin scowls and says "It's Whack." He goes on about how it is ridiculous that they have to go and how messed up is all is. Then he stalks off.

Now Harry doesn't like this. So he asks if they are still live and says hey this is a competition show and somebody has to go if they want to eventually have a winner. Thats what you sign up for and by bad mouthing the process you are attacking the show that is giving you a big opportunity and being basically disrespectful to the process.

"SAY WHAT!!!! NO YOU DIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Quentin comes out and walks across the stage right next to the judges table and gives Harry the stare down. Like he was going to play the knock out game. The angry black man standing up to the white power structure. You know. The usual bullshit. The freaking guy can't carry a tune in a bucket and should never have gotten this far. But they carried him for "diversity" and "inclusion." What a load of crap.

Here you check it out and tell me what you think.

Now Harry backed down big time which I thought was bogus but what are you going to do. He should have said "Hey if was not these two then who do you think should be in the bottom two. Because I think you should because you can't sing and should be gone." But they covered it up with some mealy mouthed nonsense. It was very awkward and uncomfortable. This is what America has become. We have to baby and placate militant idiots who can not handle the job. Instead of merit we have to mark on a curve at all times.

So many great singers were let go to let this moron through. This chick Hunter Larsen was cut and she was not only a great singer but had a great set of knockers. Check it out:

They let this chick go so this surly douchebag could be on my TV. I mean they could even have picked the skinny hipster bitch.

What a messed up world we live in.
