Chris Medina, American Idol, and Steven Tyler
I don’t ever watch American Idol. The show just really doesn’t do anything for me. However, this year I’ve tuned in on and off because I wanted to see the new judges. Bill is a huge Aerosmith fan, so we’ve read the band’s autobiography, and we’ve been to at least 5 concerts.
When Chris Medina came on last night and we heard his story, my heart broke. I, with the rest of America, was cheering him on as he sang. Here’s what we saw:
It’s okay. Go get some tissues. Steven Tyler didn’t need to say what he did to Chris Medina’s girlfriend, but he did. They all shook her hand. I’m mighty impressed. All the judges did something they didn’t have to do. I hope America saw that and learns to treat the handicapped like real people like the judges did.
Did you watch American Idol last night? What were your thoughts?

I don’t watch reality TV but . . .
I was sent this video this morning (I’m adding a second embed because I can’t get the first one to work all the time):

Now, I hate American Idol. We are alternative/rock fans here, and the music normally played on their is not our cup of tea. I have tried watching it before, and it just didn’t trip my trigger. However, I think I am addicted now. I have spent this morning watching all the Adam Lambert videos I could get my hands on (after watching this video), and I have to admit I am impressed. He was seriously channeling Led Zepplin here. I hope he wins, and I may be calling in some votes (shoot me now).
