Let me preface this entry by stating clearly that I am a fan of American Idol -- it makes for great water cooler conversation. But, I have to say, after two hours of sob stories and that "duh da, duh da, duh da" theme song, I'm slumped over in my chair wondering what the barrel of a gun would feel like in the back of my throat. It was a really long night for me.

I was pretty stoked to hear "Baba O'Riley" in the opener of the show ... classic song ... I've always thought the editors of AI had good taste. It seemed almost poetic for them to stick a tone-deaf cowgirl waving her hand around like Christina Aguilera at the top of the Minneapolis, Minn. episode. Like they have something to say about the Midwest... I don't know, I like the Midwest, but that is a lot of stereotypes encapsulated in one shot.
