American Idol scares me. [View All]

[BlueJazz]

You know, we talk sometimes about the stupidity of the American populace
but on the other hand, we meet folks every day that are actually fairly
intelligent which (at least for me) rather makes me think that maybe I'm
being a little to judgmental on my fellow countrymen.

But..then I watch American Idol.

Sweet Jesus!..Have some of these people ever listened to a song where
the singer actually sings the song in tune and does not sound like a
alligator having his balls pinch by a pair of pliers??
I listen to some of the contestants and wonder if they are aware that
they couldn't carry a tune in a 4 mile long freight train.
I mean, it's like some poor soul with no arms and legs saying:
"You Know..I think I'll go Skiing this afternoon"

Scary...Theses folks reinforce my idea that 1/2 the American Populace are dumb as a box of rocks.. :)
