Idol Does It Again!

Kim Reis

Well - Idol is in full force and it has done it to me again.  Frog in the throat - tears in my eyes.  For all different reasons.  Happy for those who make it through.  Sad for those who had NO IDEA they sing as bad as they do.  I did see a funky edit on Tuesday night’s episode.  Person is singing.  Flash to four judges laughing and making faces.  In the shot, Paula is wearing a jacket.  Flash back to the person singing.  Flash back to judges - no jacket on Paula!!!!  HA!  Now, I know they have fun with editing when the people are trying out.  But I had no idea that the comments they make might NOT match the person they are talking to.  Hmmmm…  But I often feel bad for some of the people trying out when Randy is laughing out loud and they judges are making faces.  And, most times the people trying out are not firing on all cylinders.  So then I worry about the judges because these people could be whacky!  I hope they have tough bodyguards! 

My 17-year-old son has been trying to “bond” with his girlfriend’s mother.  So - he has decided that he will talk to her about Idol since they both enjoy the show.  It was going well until Idol did the piece about the sexy young lady who tried out in a bikini.  His girlfriend’s mother asked him what he thought of that singer.  And, he said - “She had a great…..a great….a great….{gulp} - VOICE!“  HA!  Poor kid.  Even Idol sets him up to fail! 

Well - Idol will surely keep me on the edge of my seat this season.  Looks like a good one!
