I WAS THERE AND I SAW WHAT YOU DID, SAW IT WITH MY OWN TWO EYES: Having finally watched my first sustained Idol action of the year with the four hours of semifinals these past two nights ... is that all there is? Is there anything this season which we haven't seen before -- other than the fact that they're now adding a lot of Adele songs into the mix? The pageanty girls who are more sexy-for-Idol-without-actually-being-dangerous than talented singers, the African American men with immaculate voices who'll finish around 5th or 6th, "rockers" with "alternative" haircuts, and the country singers and white boys with guitars who will rule over them all ... there's not a performer I've seen over the past two nights who doesn't seem derivative of and lesser than the ten seasons which preceded this. So give me a reason, other than habit, to keep watching.
