The Muffin Post

Somebody is playing a cruel joke. There is a contestant on American Idol that should be gone long ago. He sings as bad as Drew Brees hums a tune while taking a shower for a commercial. Drew Brees earned a Super Bowl ring, and I recognize that singing (um humming) is not his thing so let him bore me for a change.

After yesterday, I realize that a substantial part of America’s population is tone deaf. Haeley Vaughn was sent home and she deserved to go. Haeley was an early favorite of mine, but she is at her best when she has a guitar in her hand and that infectious smile on her face. She allowed that cynical bastard Simon Cowell to get into her head, did a terrible version of Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb”, and the people were unforgiving.

Michelle Delamor was sent home and she should not. The girl can sing. She looks good and she did a better job with Creed’s “With Arms Wide Open” than Didi Benami did with Bill Withers’ “Lean On Me”.

Didi was another early favorite of mine but she was plain ordinary this week. The voters obviously felt that the mascot-turned cheerleader with the folksy appeal was better than the girl with a body that will not end up at Jenny Craig anytime soon. You know them jealous Michelle.

Now can someone please explain to me why guys with voices as good as John Park or Jermaine Sellers end up going home while the Karaoke singer remains? And please don’t tell me it is because the Karaoke singer is cute. Unless you are a complete bigot, John is handsome and with an added bonus; he has presence.
