McDonald’s Produces Superior “American Idol-esque” Talent

No American Idol for me yesterday! It’s so sad I know, but I went back to the gym to workout for the first time in 2 weeks so it had to be done, and American Idol had to be sacrificed. It was either watch American Idol or turn into a mediocre blob on my couch.
The sad thing is I wasn’t too sad about missing it. I read an article in a magazine about how some people think that the show is turning into a scandal because half of the contestants had albums and/or record deals in the past. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this?
In my opinion, people like that should not qualify for American Idol. If someone was good enough to get a record deal and make an album, but NOT good enough to make a career out of it, maybe they should just go on with life and let someone else with real talent that wouldn’t have that kind of opportunity in the real world, try for a legitimate career on the show. After all, American Idol was based on finding “undiscovered talent” and these people have been practically “discovered” already. It just doesn’t seem right.
I abnormally woke up extra early this morning and I saw a preview piece on “Good Morning America” where this girl that was a McDonald’s employee was singing in her restaurant and she honestly sounded better than half of the contestants on the show. She sang “No One” by Alicia Keys and she sounded exactly like the song on the radio. I almost wanted to say that she sang it better than Alicia Keys did live when I watched her on the Super Bowl pre-show this year, but I don’t want to offend any fans of hers.
So granted to say, I might watch American Idol once in a while to see how David Archuleta is doing and keep the hope and dream that David Hernandez will do a strip tease, (God I need to stop reading tabloids!) but other than that I think I’m pretty sure over the whole show…until David Archuleta wins.
