America, put on your earplugs cuz American Idol is back!

American Idol officially started last night. As usual, there were many really horrible singers...and most of them actually thought they were good. In fact, many of them said that their friends said that they were good, too. Well people, here's a bit of advice for you...get new friends! If your so-called friends tell you that your voice resembles Celine Dion when in fact it actually resembles Tiny Tim, then those people are not your friends. Real friends would tell you the truth. And if you chose to not believe the truth and went on American Idol anyway, well then you deserve all the public humiliation you get.

True there were a few good performances, but no one's singing gave me the chills. But many of the performances were definitely cringe-inducing. Such as the guy who told the judges to give him an hour and he would definitely do better. Sorry Charlie, but even if the judges gave him 10 years, he would still suck. And that chick who looked like a cross between Paris Hilton and Ashlee Simpson...she was horrible! And what was up with her mother? I see now where her daughter gets her fashion sense (or, unsense in this case) from. And as for Mr Deputy Sheriff...stick to your day job.

By the way, what were Randy and Paula thinking keeping that crazy guy? Hell...even I could sing better than him.

Maybe it was in protest of Simon, who was being more cranky and critical than usual...as if that were possible.

Anyway, the show is back on tonight. The first part of American Idol is definitely the best part because it shows you all of the tone-deaf, off-pitch singers who think they are all that and a bag of Doritos. And that is where the fun is.

By the way, where did this rain come from? I washed my car last night and there was no mention of rain anywhere in the forecast. Not today..not over the weekend. Nowhere! Grrrrr... I truly believe that washing your car is a true rain-bringer. No need to do a rain dance. Just wash your car and the rain will surely come.
