Why is American Idol the weirdest effing show ever? And why am I still watching it anyway? I swear it becomes a more surreal experience every year, but it's kind of weirdly magical. I started out yesterday without any real emotional investment in the finale, yet it took all of about five minutes for me to start getting wibbly about the performances (especially Cook's The World I Know. The crying! And the winking!). And now having everybody come back on again...! Awww!! I was just congratulating myself on my progress from a ridiculous obsession last season to a more casual viewership this year around, but I do still love everybody quite a lot anyway.

Although seriously if they really do pull that Elvis mess again this year... *FROWNS AND DISAPPROVAL*

ETA: Bahaha American Idol at Disneyworld? I still haven't gotten used to the Hollywood Studios name change, either; it was a confusing experience all last semester because half the signs on I-4 hadn't been changed from MGM Studios.

And Blaaaaaaake! Um. Clearly I love this show more than I am willing to acknowledge.

my mother and I are boycotting American Idol because the praise for Archuleta is fucking ridiculous, and it only encourages his crazy-assed stage father.

I just don't... get Archuleta. I mean. I don't think he's bad or anything, but, yeah, the praise last night was bordering on ridiculous. No, okay, it was legitimately beyond ridiculous. I'm kind of torn over who I want to win, though. I mean, I don't want Cook to turn into Idol's bitch, but I'm going to feel bad for Archuleta if he gets stuck in there as well because the kid just doesn't seem ready for it to me (a bit odd that this year we don't really hear any of the "AND YOU'RE ONLY SEVENTEEN!!" that we kept getting with Jordin last season, even though she seemed worlds more mature as an artist, I think).
