Balding, Malnutrition and American Idol contestants

OK ok...I watch American Idol. My last post mentioned I had "caught" the last few minutes of the show, implying I was not an avid watcher. Maybe I was trying to save face...whatever. I feel comfortable admitting it now, especially after Lengli's introspective post and the fact that she watches That's So Raven AND Degrassi. AI isn't THAT bad right? But I digress....I'm really here to get a couple of things off of my chest.


David Cook, with his hipster/emo rocker style irritates me to no end. Putting all talent aside, I just can't get passed his emover. Hannah, Bekah (shout out!), and I went on and on about it and we decided that men with actual receding hairlines should not have this hairstyle. Maybe that's what disturbs me the most, the fact that he's actually covering up his hair loss. So, David, if you can hear me, read up on hair loss, understand that it's OK and consider embracing it on prime time television by singing I've Got the Comb Over Blues.

Garrett Haley, you ghostly kid you. I don't even know what to say. Simon's use of "haunted" was probably the most accurate adjective to describe him and his performance. He's scary looking. Emaciation may be the "in" thing but this borders on either junkie or malnutrition. Maybe both? So Garrett, or maybe Garrett's momma, since he's 17 and all, read up on malnutrition and get your boy out of the spotlight before he makes children cry. You don't want kids to cry do you?
