gridloreI'm watching the American Idol audition shows.. some of these people come close, but others?
OK, I can't sing. I know this. I freely admit this. I would no more try to inflict my voice on an audience than I would smear myself with blood and walk into a pit-bull pen. Folks, I am better than some of the losers being shown. Far better. What possessed them to try this is beyond me.
But it gets better... about half of them argue with the judges! These are industry professionals who make very good livings do nothing but looking for talent! Yet a tone-deaf 18 year old from Tarzana knows better?
(An honest-to-God little person just belted out an amazing song.. she's going to Hollywood!)
Speaking of delusional people, Senator Joe Lieberman came in 4th in New Hampshire.. but not according to him. In his view trailing two candidates by over 7,000 votes with 95% of the vote counted was calling the race a dead heat for 3rd.
