American Idol’s Blake Lewis The Next Champ?
Let’s talk about where we are in this country when it comes to talent and culture, shall we?
Movies created on cell phones and produced on You Tube? Music created from software packages? Sports figures who take steroids so they can break a legendary player’s home run record? Architecture that is less than 30 years old being blown up and replaced?
The answer? In my mind, the new talent in our society will come from computer programmers because everything else has gone to hell in a hand-basket.
I don’t watch American Idol…never have. But when I heard everyone yammering about Blake Lewis from last night’s installment, I had to find out if he’s got the goods.
I’m afraid I have to agree with Simon, who bellowed: “It sounded like a cruise ship karaoke performance!”, after listening to Blake’s version of Diana Ross’ — “You Keep Me Hanging On”.
Oh wait, wasn’t it Simon who predicted that Oscar winner, Jennifer Hudson wouldn’t amount to very much? An Oscar, Simon!
Which makes me believe that in order to get any enjoyment from this schlocky franchise (don’t cry Paula)…you, the viewer, have to pick your own fav.
Mine? Lakisha Jones. Although, if she wins, she will go down in TV history as the last reigning American Idol champ, as the show will be cancelled…I HOPE.
