I hate American Idol. Jut in case that was not clear enough, let me state it again. I HATE American Idol. I HAAAAAAAAYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY YAAAAAATTTTTEEEEE American Idol. The show is the crystallization of the dumbing down of America. I also fear that it is corrupting and destroying an entire generation's ability to appreciate music. Not to mention the fact it has one of the most evil men to ever appear on television.

Simon Cowell is a prick. That's all he is. The man has not done one thing to contribute to society and in interviews he seems to genuinely be a prick. I have read interviews with him where the only thing he seems to say is that the only thing that will make him happy is to die with a lot of money and, apparently, a lot of black T-shirts. Has he ever written a song? Played an instrument? Performed in front of people in a musical manner? Has he ever done one thing to honestly contribute to music in general? No, instead his big claim to fame is that he got a job at a music label and then made a lot of money selling CDs with professional wrestlers performing on them or something. He should be considered evil for that alone.

So, when Simon dies he will have done nothing but be a prick his entire life. None of his money will matter and I bet very few people will care because such a prick is very hard to be friends with. He will have done not a single thing to make the world better for him having been here. His parents must be so proud.

Then there's poor, sad Paula Abdul. She seems like an old watch that is slowly winding down. Maybe dancing with a cartoon cat was too much for her. I don't know what to do about her but she may be having a breakdown on live television.

The only one of them that has any sort of credibility is Randy. At the very least Randy knows how to play an instrument. At the very least Randy is a musician so somethings he says might have some tiny amount of merit. Still, he uses the word "dawg" too much to really be taken seriously.

I can't stand to watch this show. People seem to think that those poor pathetic souls in the beginning of each season deserve what they get. I have to disagree. I think they need to be told to go home long before they are brought in front of those three knuckleheads and then crushed and humiliated in front of millions on television. Of course, then you get a William Hung and that whole part of the program becomes pointless too.

At some point it's just karaoke and it's bad karaoke. They sing parts of songs created
