16. Jason sucks...how is this guy still in the running?
I know -- his blue eyes and killer smile!

I usually fast forward through his performances as they are usually quite boring.

5. I usually don't either, but...
had to make a deal with the wife last night. We could sit in front of the TV watching election returns all night, but only if she got to go to whatever channel she wanted during commercial breaks.

8. I call it American Karoake
I mean they're not even doing their own music - geez.

And all the while talented musicians who write their own music struggle to get noticed.

6. First thought when I saw the headline...
"Mods should know better than to post this sort of crap."

now I see it's an American Idol post...

"How can anybody watch that show? Mods should know better than to post this sort of crap."

9. ugh
I can't stand him. I don't understand how the judges can rave about him every week. He almost NEVER hits his opening note, his voice sounds strained when he goes high, he can't open his eyes and does funny stuff with his tongue.

and he looks like a muppet. A penisless monkey muppet.

10. It was weird. Last night, Simon Cowell and I had exactly the same opinion every single time...
until the last song of the night, when that dude sang "Love Me Tender." I mean, it was powerfully bad. Perhaps the most maudlin, overly sentimental, steaming pile of horseshit I've ever been forced to cram in my ears. And up until very recently, I was a professional music critic. I've heard A LOT of shit. And yet Cowell just drooled all over it. I was shocked. But then, I didn't spend a whole lot of time dwelling on it, as I turned back to MSNBC to watch the numbers keep coming in.

11. Baby Elmo
That's what the Washington Post television report calls David A. I presume it's a reference to the Sesame Street character.

Seems to fit the guy pretty well.

15. I always tell my wife, "He's working his Keebler Elf magic again!"
He should be singing songs in the parade at Disneyland.

He has a decent voice, but every freakin' song he sings sounds the same.

24. He's really driving me nuts
I use the word "mossy" to describe his voice. His songs always sound the same.

25. Then you'll love all the Archuleta photochops at this page:
http://idolforums.com/lofiversion/index.php/t554051.html

Not all about Archuleta but all related to "Idol" in some way.
