American Idol is way better this year. The four judge thing is working so well. Can't even remember what it was like before that new girl arrived.
It's also been really cool seeing the back-stories and behind the scenes drama this year.
I'm sure that whatever happens, that Tatiana girl will be in our lives for years to come - in unpredictable ways.
The one bad change this year is this new gimmick they're doing where the make someone think they're being kicked off the show, then quickly tell them they're in.
Every once in a while might be okay, but doing it so much this season has really fucked up the aura of the show. Is this a talent competition or a teenage mindfuck experiment? It's uncomfortable and messed up to watch a bunch of young kids' dreams come crashing down - then get rocket launched into the heavens.
American Idol is naturally climactic. The joy of watching someone get closer to their dreams is great on its own. These false rejections are not funny or exhilarating. They're just mean-spirited, gimmicky and reek of forced drama.
Oh shit. Just as I was typing this, Paula did it again to a girl named Kendel.
I can just imagine the AI "writers" imagining up that genius move. Fuck them.
