Two Things: Elevator Episode & Top 24 Selection

Okay, first off, is it necessary to have the American Idol Hollywood Week Elevator Episode? A complete waste of time, but I guess FOX knows what its doing. We would watch paint dry if it was called American Idol Primer. Viewers just are addicted, rightfully so.

If we must make these kids take the elevator to the room, walk the long distance across the wooden floor, sit in front of the judges who talk in circles and then try to surprise them with “Yes”, then we must. But I have a solution if you still want to use the elevator. The person can take the elevator to the room. If the door opens and you see the judges, then its a YES! If the door doesn’t open and it stops at the floor, but then goes back down, then its a NO! Perfection, really.

 Top 24 American Idol 2008

So why is that I don’t really recognize some of the Top 24. That has proved to be a detriment to contestants. No airtime prior to Top 24 usually means that America doesn’t really care about you and you are likely to see the boot earlier rather than later. Oh well, my guess is that if Asia’h doesn’t win, then it’ll be a guy who wins this year. David A.?

Josiah Leming – WHAT? Not Fair.

Okay, since we won’t get to see anymore of Josiah Leming on American Idol. We can pimp him out here. This kid is a raw talent and from the clips and interviews on Idol, he has a big heart and is just a genuinely good kid (to semi-quote Simon Cowell).

I found these videos on YouTube (of course). Hopefully something comes of his exposure. Hopefully he also doesn’t really live in his car.
