Next week the final 6 contestants of American Idol are going to sing the songs of Carole King and I want to know who she f*cked to get a theme week on the show. I mean how else would she have gotten it? Seriously I need an explanation because there are so many other artists I can think of before her for getting a theme week on the #1 show in America.
I would love to have been in the room when they told contestants whose repertoire of music they were going to choose from because if they are like me, they are like I heard the name, but what the f*ck does she sing? I even went to Wikipedia and looked at her discography and was like I know maybe 3 of the songs. I feel bad for the contestants because they are told to be current and they are given a singer whose music started to come out before their parents were born. Isn’t bad enough that they have had to suffer through Steven Tyler’s Creepy Leers of the Night?
Seriously what were the producers of the show thinking when they picked her name out of hat? I mean the ratings have been slipping every week, do they want to go down faster than I am assuming Pia Toscano did on Dancing with the Stars’ Mark Ballas. (I am not saying she did, I just needed a reference and that one worked…)
Now back to Carole King, I am not dismissing her extraordinary career, it is just that I don’t think she is good fit for American Idol. What do you think of her music as a theme week on the singing competition?
