So apparently there is some American Idol buzz that is not so favorable. Instead of linking to a reputable gossip source, I thought it’d be fun to post the email conversation flying about my inbox. Heh. Cause I love my friends. I love them and want them to be a part of my blog… Plus, I have been up since three in the morning and it is now four thirty in the afternoon. I’m exhausticated.

(Oh and all of this reminds me that I totally missed out on doing a Top 24 post. Damn!)

Let the games begin.  Stories are already being released about Carly Smithson, formerly Carly Hennesy.  Apparently a couple of years back Carly had a major label (MCA) deal that went bust.  Her album only sold a couple hundred copies and she was dropped from MCA.  And now she’s on Idol trying to make her come back.  She’s already taken a spot in the top 24.  Contreversy asks whether or not she deserves that spot over some of the ‘unknowns’ who didn’t get in because she did.

What will Idol do?

Yahoo profiled the top 24 today and uncovered that Carly Smithson isn’t the only Idol who has had professional backing.  Idol must of been worried about ratings this year and have managed to stack the deck with semi-professional contestants this year.  Apparently the judges weren’t being hopeful when they said it would be the best Idol yet.

Isn’t this like the debate a few years ago, where people thought it was slightly unfair that a contestant’s mother was a vocal coach?  I do not think it is unfair to have had a recording contract, and be a contestant.  As long as that said contract is no longer active, you should be able to compete.

The argument is that those who had their chance once (or twice) already are taking the chance away from someone who hasn’t been as fortunate.  Personally I don’t care because I’m all for having experienced singers duke it out.  I’ve always preferred competition such as Nashville Star or the INXS search for a lead singer.  Which were based on more experienced performers.

Hmmm… Have we heard about this? What do you think?

Today has been a pisser. First, I woke up too early. I didn’t wake up naturally. I had set my alarm wrong because I didn’t know when I had to go to work. Talk about starting the day on the wrong foot! I went back to bed, but it wasn’t the same. work was not bad, but my generally shitty mood effected my whole day. I came home to cat barf on the rug again and had a fit about it. The cats chew on my artificial centerpiece till they eat plastic and vomit. I find vomit too often. The centerpiece looks like hell now. I tossed the thing out finally. I actually had a complete fit about it. Coming home to a house that smelled like cat shit and stepping in barf and finding something destroyed made me snap inside. I missed the interview call, or she didn’t call. I am not sure, but there was no message on the machine and the phone didn’t ring. To top it off my new mic for the iPod recording doesn’t make a bit of difference in the car, even though I tested it yesterday in the car with the radio on. I have no idea why it won’t work, but it’s not the speakers. Must be the noise, but how the hell do other people record in a car?? That totally pisses me off.

I am going to go watch TV.
