The problem with the people
: Watching American Idol right now and they all suck. This is the problem with a show of the people; you can’t engineer it to find real talent when the contestants are talentless. Populism has its limitations.

Matt was really good in the tryouts; he was flat tonight. This year’s crowd is very boring.

Ummmm, watch C-Span or something, it looks like Edwards is tied with Kerry right now. That’s more fun than watching people who can’t sing. But I am not watching tv now.

My TiVo conked out on me and didn’t record it tonight! Arrrrgh! TiVo, how can you let me down when I evangelize you to everyone I know?
(Maybe it was saving me from a bad crop of singers, but still.)
But that girl who went on first last week–the sixteen-year-old one, Diana DeSomething?–kicked ass. Really, really great. I can see her making the top four or five. -
Ah, the Bell Curve will not be denied. Why do most people think they aren’t average?

They were pathetic last night. But the first week’s group was pretty good. Which is too bad for them, since only the top two go through.
