Surveys and junk

sailorhathorGAAAASP. I am really surprised by who they've been sending home on "American Idol" lately. This seems to be the season of "let's keep average singers around as long as possible" syndrome, like Cheeto Finger. That kid could only sing one type of music; he needed to go home and let his voice season for a few years, just keep singing. He stayed around much longer than he deserved. Now the same thing is happening with Jasmine.
And what is the deal with that "cake out in the rain" song? People sing it so seriously, yet the lyrics are STUPID. Even if the cake is symbolic, it's still a dumb song.
