Reality Check: Hair-Raising Performances on 'American Idol'

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,261863,00.html


Before we get down to discussing the singing, let's focus on what "Idol" viewers really want to know: What could Sanjaya possibly have been thinking?

This question isn't directed to his choice of song or use of his vocal cords, for a change, but rather at that seven-ponytailed fauxhawk he sported that made his previous insane hairstyles — ironed straight and curly, respectively — seem comparatively flattering.

Let me just say that the boy has clearly become some sort of hairdresser's plaything. Someone should take pity on him and leave his follicles alone.

I can't say I wasn't at least partially influenced by the sartorial decisions. Like Simon, I thought Melinda looked plain weird, and I found Blake's shirt, with its succession of thick and thin stripes jutting every which way, quite distracting.

There have been numerous homos on succeeding shows, one being a 17-year-old bottom in this year’s competition named “Sanjaya.” Folks, believe it or not, America, our great nation that unfortunately continues to slide closer and closer to the fiery abyss, has voted an Indian (and I’m not talking about the casino-running variety here but, rather, the cow-worshipping sort) to the final 10. His singing voice resembles Anna Nicole’s speaking voice after a fistful of Quaaludes and a cold, barium enema. Then there is Blake Lewis, a youngster who is so chock full of demons that he often starts sputtering like a Ford Pinto on cheap gas, right in the middle of his songs. Lewis or Sanjaya, the nellie with more relaxed hair than a whole closet of Beyoncé weaves, may actually be the devil’s son.

I suggest everyone read this article to realize how this great nation of ours has become one of Godless Idol Worshipers.
