So, if you're a regular reader of the site (I'm huge in the UK, you know), you'll notice that I haven't blogged a word about the new season of American Idol. And there's a good reason for that: I haven't watched a single minute.
Why? Well, I really dislike Nicki Minaj. I don't get her in the slightest. I have no interest in watching her on my television screen. But, I love American Idol... what a dilemma!
So for this season, I've opted to completely skip the non-live portions of the show. I decided that I really don't have to watch the finely edited shows where it's all Nicki, fake feuds and pimping of early producer favorites. Sure, all three obnoxious Idol sideshows are all present when the show goes live, but at least it's in a show filled with music ("filled" used lightly, of course).
Now don't get me wrong: I fully acknowledge that she could be a decent judge on Idol. That may be, and I fully allow for that... but I have no interest in it anyway. At least with the live shows, I've trained myself to almost completely ignore the judges.
Apparently, this week and next week, Idol is in Vegas with the top 40 contestants... so I'll probably start watching this week. Perhaps I'll put up a blog at some point about it. Assuming I don't give up on the Nicki Show after that, expect regular recaps to start up once voting starts (which, I read, is March 5).
