American Idol updates on Twitter
While I just can’t bring myself to write a full story about American Idol, I have been microblogging about the show on the Trashwire Twitter. You can check out my live tweets on the sidebar during the show or head on over to twitter.com/trashwire to follow the posts and reply.
Here’s a few quotes from what I had to say about last night’s contestants:
Ah, Simon never disappoints. “So you’re truning your back on your band?”
Elijah Scarlett sounded like the distorted effect they put on anonymous witnesses on Dateline.
Now I’m worried we’ll find Leah Marie dead in her car outside Kara’s house.
This dude actually thought it was a good idea to go to a shop and pay money for a tattoo that says “Sexual Chacolate”
Cody Sheldon is like Sanjaya only with over-tweezed eyebrows.
I think that one dude was a frightened homeless rabbi
It might be hard to express yourself in 140 characters, but it seems roomy when describing these so-bad-they’re-good contestants. Besides, who wants to watch after the first few episodes when the only people left are those who have actual talent?
I think you are right to limit commenting on American Idol to just twitter. 140 characters are enough to comment about the entire show. I disagree though on there being talented people left. I think most are mediocre now. I am going to tune out until Hollywood Week. I miss watching Scrubs anyway.
