I watched "American Idol"...and I can tell you without any hesitation that it's absolutely the worst show I've ever seen in this series.
The men were -- save three -- uniformly bland, unmemorable and totally wrongheaded about their approaches and deliveries of songs that were -- for the MOST part -- bland and unmemorable in their original versions.
Of the three that were all right, only one stood out....the last singer...Chris Stacey. He's the only male vocalist I would bet on to make it well into the competition.
My hopes for the women are very high -- Lakisha and Melinda (Dolittle) are my favorites.
Dreadful, dreadful show. If you thought "Grease" was terrible this past Sunday, it was leagues better than tonight's "Idol."
