my idol

as many of you may know, i've taken to watching crap television during my time in ireland. this includes american idol.

i actually think that with some recent celebrity 'coaching' (this includes a performance and some guidance as well as lots of advertising for their new tours/albums/shows) this show is becoming more ... hmmm ... like a singing show, and less of a competition. what i mean is that it appears to be starting to appeal to different people on a different level. not just old people who wish they had been singers or 12 year olds. in any case, it's started to have some younger stars on the show. this week was gwen stefani, which was way more fun than rod stewart. and i think it's opening the show up to people who wouldn't watch it normally. a good marketing move, and thankfully it also lets me have more fun in my indulgence.

whoot.
