Slog - Comments on Idol Update: The Horror... THE HORROR! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/idol_update_the_horror_the_horror Now, I'm usually the type of guy who waits until the "final six" to start watching American Idol, but with such horrific things happening on every single episode, how can I miss it?? After Simon and Ryan's homophobic "gay-off" competition Tuesday night, last night's episode featured a special performance by Dorian Gray… I mean DIANA ROSS—who was really, really, really not so good. I was fully expecting Randy to follow up her performance with "I dunno, dog. It was really pitchy… didn't work for me." And hilariously, the people over at votefortheworst.com must be doing something right, because the absolutely...

Not for the last 6, 4, or 2. I just can't let myself watch this show ever again. I feel like my IQ drops 10 points for every half hour I witness and let's face, I'm not smart enough to afford the loss.

I will continue to enjoy youtube clips of messy Paula "Princess Valium" Abdul slur her way through interviews. That shit is funny. BUT THAT'S IT!

second, why do you insist on ripping on poor sanjaya? he is a gem as a human being and a gifted performer whose time has come. america knows this. that's why they voted for him!

third, your comments make it very clear that not all of america is ready for an indian american idol. it is shameful to call someone torturous only because he is proud of his heritage and just wants to entertain us with his beautiful soul.

Hump's use of the word "torturous" was fitting--even Sanjaya knows he's out of his league, and for his devoted fans to keep prolonging his televised humiliation is cruel.

if i had one wish, and only one wish, it would be for this show to have never existed.

This genre, this underground, or whatever, has been mainstreamed. Get over it.

I'm not a huge Ross fan, but I was around when the Supremes burst onto the scene in the 60s. So, How Bad Is It? So bad that I returned it in 2 days without even copying it (which must be a first for me).

It's the incredibly stupid use of the song.

Granted, MM got away with murder on their first sell-out, where 15 seconds of instrumental music from some "Moon and Antarctica" track was featured in a car commercial.

But they didn't deserve this.
