AMERICAN IDOL
Wednesday night’s American Idol was a bit calmer than Tuesday’s episode. To real in last year’s viewers who might have been getting a bit board with the current hopefuls and boring disasters, the producers of the show added subtle reminders of why America loves this show. Namely the Davids from last year.
Being that these were Utah auditions being displayed, it should come as no surprise that cuddly David Archuleta (Utah’s golden boy) would be displayed at the beginning of the show and repeatedly mentioned by the auditioners (it’s only fair since that’s how they played it in the winners hometown.)
However, David Cook was also there making an Appearance as his song A Daily AntheM was used in a montage of success stories and there was a subtle nod to his final performance before becoming the Idol when The World I Know by Collective Soul was played while a woman lamented about her failed marriage and American Idol being the salvation of her tattered dreams.
All and all the singers were ok, the judges were medicated, and it was an enjoyable show.
