It must be noted that I HATE HATE HATE American Idol, I think the show absolutely sucks. I mean call me crazy, but I lost some faith in the American public when one year the two finalists were Ruben Studdard, and Clay Aiken. It also didn't help that the edgiest contestant to be on the show was Adam Lambert. Oh my Gawd, the boy wore eyeliner, are we ready for such wackiness?! Please, Jared Leto has been doing that shit for years.
So what is it about the X-factor that is so addicting?
1. The acts are better. Cher Lloyd? amazing, Matt Cardle? hot, Rebecca Ferguson? Oh my lord. The Brits, collectively, have better taste then we do and they are willing to experiment. I mean I love country music as much as the next girl, but damn the entire show is actually just a string of southern whiners. As soon as you get boring you die, so I'm not sure why this show is still on.
Ed. Note: If you don't know who Cher Lloyd is yet, check her out on youtube. She is amazing, Jay-Z and Will.I.Am are already trying to sign her stateside.
2. The judges are better. Yes, Simon is the common thread and he is great, but I don't give a shit about Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, or wait who is even judging it anymore? The point is Cheryl Cole is gorgeous and nice, so is Danni Monogue, and Louis Walsh is just adorable. I want to have coffee with them I love them all so much.
3. The song choices are better. I mean really, Diva Fever did a cover of Duck Sauce, could it get any better?
4. There is no age limit. Two of the best acts this season were Wagner and Mary Byrne. American Idol is pure ageism and I don't have any patience for such prejudice.
5. It's on Saturday night. Friday is the new Saturday which means everyone is hung over on Saturday which is now the new Sunday. Best show ever when you're hung over.
P.S. Matt Cardle won...the show and my heart
