A Grown Woman: Television revision

I made the previous post towards the beginning of American Idol last night. And while Paula did continue to appear coherent, clear eyed and awake (which compared to the previous night and her television interviews just helps prove she was definitely on something the other times)...
I take back what I said about Simon. Because Simon was NOT very nice. I mean, overall he gave nicer comments than he usually does, but when they all start picking on the appearance of people... calling one guy a "bushbaby"... I thought they were incredibly mean. And the fact that the show decided to focus on these unfortunate people - who possibly may have had other problems than their looks - and decided to NOT show several people who continued on in the contest... Shame on you, AI. Making fun of people who obviously can't sing is one thing - they came to the audition, and the feedback was overall pretty accurate - but making fun of peoples' appearance and disabilities - None of that was funny. Shame on you!

I agree with you about AI. I've never watched the show before, but I turned in this time to check it out and when I saw that they were picking on those folks who obviously had something else going on, and not just lack of talent and I saw how they began to rip them up. Well I just turned it off and I don't think I'll be going back.
