This has been bugging the shit out of me for awhile now, so I gotta bitch about it. Now, I like American Idol. I didn’t think I would when it first started, as I am totally against any and all reality shows. But, it caught my attention and now I’m hooked, especially since the show has weeded out most of the teeny boppers and drawn some real talent, such as the rockers and the country singers. The last two years have been great. I also enjoy watching Nashville Star, as I am a big fan of country music. Now, I watched Idol last night, just like most people I’m sure, and so many things about it pissed me off.

The music didn’t bother me (even though some of them were horrible), and whats-her-name getting kicked off, that didn’t bother me. What did bother me was the horrific amount of advertising DURING the show. While everyone hates commercials, they are a necessity for local programming, and I’m ok with that. But during the fucking show? Come on. Yes, we know Cingular wireless is a big sponsor. Yes, we know that they have exclusive rights to all Idol music. BUT DO WE HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT EVERY 45 FUCKING SECONDS? Jeez man, we get the point, so please shut the fuck up about Cingular. Guess what? I’ve had Cingular, and they sucked! Thats why I dumped their ass 4 months ago to go with Nextel. Get that, NEXTEL! Someone (me) who demands good service dumped your “allover” network for the most shady covered service in the country, all becouse you suck so much!

The next thing that pisses me off is it’s other sponsor, Ford. I don’t mind Fords. I dont care for them, and the only one I would ever own is either a brand new or a very old Mustang, but thats me. Now, what gets me is the fact that they have taken over the group singing. They used to do group songs at the beginning of the Results show, live. They don’t do that anymore. No, they do some lame ass song in a Ford Commercial. DURING THE FUCKING SHOW! Damnit. I don’t want advertising during the fucking show.

Nashville Star does the same thing. Prilosec OTC. Irritating. Larry The Cable Guy and his new movie. Eh, ok, but this IS a talent show, not a talk show to help promote your new movie. John Cena. What the fuck is John Cena doing on a country music talent show? I mean, even Larry the Cable Guy is at least associated with the Country genre. Last I checked, John Cena was a WWE wrestler, who started out trying to be the next Eminem (and quite a poor try at that). Why, I ask? Becouse all he did was talk about and promote the WWE, a member of the USA channel I should add.

Now, the last thing to piss me off. Last night, Shakira and Wycleff performed live on the American Idol results show. The did their new song, “Hips Don’t Lie”. I dont mind the song, I LOVE THE VIDEO, but what happened last night apalled me. The song is entitled “HIPS dont lie”. HIPS PEOPLE! Where were the Hips shots? All I saw was crappy camera work, and most of the song showed Shakira chest up. Not that I’m complaining about watching Shakira’s chest bounce and all, but come on, the song is all about Shakira showing off her bellydancing skills and some serious ass shaking. That is the entire point of the song - HER FUCKING HIPS! And they barely showed any of it. Sorry to all the ladies who might take offense to this, but thats the guy part of me talking here. If any guys here get offended, well, grow up and go get a Maxim magazine.
