American Idol's Live Review

So I bought my dad tickets to the American Idols Live concert in Grand Rapids for Father's Day. So on Tuesday night, we sat in the very back row of the balcony to witness a piece of Americana. I don't know how familar any of you are with American Idol, but I'll give you a few highlights:
1. The 2 people dressed like giant poptarts trying to rev up the crowd before the concert started. Unfortunately, (Because of the costumes) they could only move their arms from the elbows down, so the crowd responded to their lame gestures with lame applause.
2. I felt sorry for Bucky- because he was so bad that he couldn't sing and dance at the same time, and because he got no attention from the fans (many people got up to go to the bathroom during his lame rendititon of "Superstitous"), and because everyone knows he's riding out his 15 minutes of fame and will soon be flipping burgers at a Sonic. So I made my dad giggle time and again when I would scream out "GO BUCKY" during his songs.
3. My dad, on the other hand, felt sorry for Katharine McPhee-- not because she has bulemia, or that she broke her ankle and had a cast on, or that her vocal chords were "strained" from strep throat-- but because she sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow", and my dad felt that she couldn't outdo the version she had sang on the show- and had nowhere else to go.

All in all, it turned out exactly what you think an American Idol concert would be-- and we loved it.
