Trying a little too hard
So, I hate rock music. At least that's what I thought before I started watching this show. Hate is a harsh word, I didn't hate it. And it was more heavy metal then rock. Come to think of it, I still hate heavy metal, but I've realized the past few weeks my roommate's watched the show that there are a lot of good rock songs out there. At first I just watched it because it's the summertime and nothing's on it. Now, I'm completely invested.
Yeah, it gets on my nerves that everybody tries to be so "rock and roll" and most of them really aren't. And I tried to not like Tommy Lee, but after his reality show last summer or whenever that was, I realized that he just seems like a nice guy. A nice guy with Hepatitis C, but a nice guy nonetheless. He's way too skinny for my taste, and my taste normally runs pretty skinny, but something about him back there playing the drums is ultra sexy.
I didn't watch Rockstar: INXS, and I'm not upset by it. None of that band interested me, but all three members of this one do. I really don't know who the other guys are, I think one is from Metallica, not sure where the other one is from, but the three of them, with a really good frontperson, will totally kick some ass. Plus, most of the songs they sing I recognize. I've even gone to iTunes the next day buy a song I heard. Not from who sang it, but the song regardless.
She's just awful
The contestants on the show are pretty annoying. Especially this one bitch named Zayara. You'd think that would say "Zahara", but they pronounce it, "Zyeeda". Where the hell is the "d"? Anyway, she's some crazy Latin chick whose singing reminds me of that part in Nightmare on Elm Street when Freddy pulls his razor fingers across the chalkboard. Although the Freddy thing was a bit more tolerable. But for some reason, the bitch is staying alive in the competition. I think it may be because young boys think she looks cute in the outfits she wears. Or maybe it's one of those "vote the worst" things that happen with Idol. I don't know, but she needs to be taken out back and shot. She keeps landing in the bottom three, and they keep pushing her through.
A truly good performer doesn't even need to look at the audience
There's also this skunk headed guy who thinks his shite don't stink, and last performance show spent the whole time singing with his back to the audience. He says he forgot the lyrics, which to me would automatically put you in the bottom three, but somehow it didn't. Brooke Burke is the host and she claims a record number of people from all over the world voted in the previous night's vote. So I'm thinking it was probably two, three hundred people at the most. And they're all from Latin America somewhere. I'm still trying to think of how logistically that works out that people from around the world can vote, seeing that Australia is a full day ahead of us. They could vote on the show, but then the results show couldn't be the very next day, at the same time the other show was airing for... Christ, I don't know, it just doesn't make any sense. Plus, I don't really believe dear Brooke, she doesn't look like the sharpest tool in the shed.
The one person that stands out to me is Dilana. She's from South Africa where, according to Brooke, they can vote for her if they want to. Um, ok Brooke. She has a great voice, kinda raspy, perfect for a rock band, and she has great stage presence. If she makes it, I might convince her to take out those chin piercings, but besides that, I hope she wins.
I'm not saying that people should flock to this show, but it is fairly entertaining.
