Some Songs Should Be Retired

My last post mentioned two shows, one that I like and one that dislike. Today I have decided that I am going to write something regarding a show that has both of those characteristics:

AND...THIS...IS American Idol! 

(could you just picture little Ryan Seacrest saying that just now?)

I am definitely a hater when A.I. begins their season. I think it is mean to make fun of people who think they can sing but they totally can't. I happen to know a few...

I am a lover when A.I. gets to the top 10 (or 12 or 13 or what ever number they choose to "surprisingly" change it to in an attempt of making the season more exciting). It is so fun to watch really talented people do their own versions or popular songs.

There are have been a few times that I believed songs were so good they should have been retired. Here are my top 5:

5. MacPhee singing somewhere over the rainbow

2. Cute dreads guy (Jason Castro) singing Halleluya. I love that it is not perfect but it is so heartfelt

3. Adam Lambert singing Mad World

2. David Archuleta singing Imagine (very touching, I actually shed a tear)

1. David Cook singing Hello (the song start on second 20, the volume is a little soft for this one, you totally need to turn it up to get the full effect). I heart David Cook

These songs should so be retired. Every time another contestant sings one of these songs, you already know they are just not going to be as good! Therefore, they choose to have a disadvantage in front of millions of fans who cannot forget the best version they ever heard!
I'm writing them a letter.

Something To Look Forward To

Now that the Bachelor is over and there is nothing to look forward to on Monday nights, something has been weighing heavy in my heart.  Is there anything that can fill in that emptiness? I mean, crazy Utah chicks wishing death-by-monkeys on other girls is hard to replace.

Well, tonight I found my answer:

RALPH MACCHIO

 

SIGH...I now have a new reason to look forward to Monday nights. My Karate Kid is going to kick some booty on Dancing With the Stars. I actually don't like the show but I will definitely be watching Mr. KK as he karate-chops his way to the top. 

Isn't he dreamy? 

And no, I do not care that he is like 49 years old because he still looks like the teenager who learned how to "wax-on, wax-off" from Mr. Miyagi. 

I'd date him. 

Sorry Will Smith Jr., you just won't ever do.
