Judgment Day for Idols
August 22nd 2006 07:57
So I watched Idol last night. And I have now resolved that they need some kind of episode where the contestants get to judge the judges. Man, these people sit up there at their desk like they’re sitting on a pedestal and I can’t remember that last time I heard about any of them having a hit. Kyle Sandilands is even self professed as tone deaf. Am I the only person in Australia who can’t stand this man? I wonder if he can even stand himself. He is rude, obnoxious and void of any kind of creative talent. In fact, he’s made a career out of being rude, obnoxious and void of talent. Yet he has no problem telling contestants that they need to take the competition seriously and stop acting like a kid. Most of these people are kids. And most of them have more talent than these judges can even dream of.
When Idol first came out, I didn’t even know who Mark Holden was. I had to look him up. Apparently he had some form of pop career back in the day. And as for Marcia Hines, shouldn’t she be fossilizing by now? I thought the only thing most people know about Marcia Hines is that she’s mother to Deni Hines. But at least she can sing.
Shouldn’t they have people judging on this show who have their finger on the pulse of what’s hot right now? I know they need the patronising one, the nice one and the complete ass. But there are a lot of asses in Australia, people. I’m sure they could find someone a bit more credible than Kyle Sandilands. Don’t even get me started on Gretel Killeen and Big Brother or that aptly nicknamed “Dicko” on Celebrity Survivor.
I know that the judges have to be harsh, I know that their antics apparently make for good television but surely Channel 10 can do better than these three washed up geriatrics.
Catch Australian Idol on Sunday and Monday Nights from 7:30pm and judge for yourself...
