Bad ...<i>“he touches young kids all over the world.” </i><br /><br />Bad skin guy (It showed up on my non-HD TV too) must have loved Michael Jackson also.<br /><br />It was the girl who thought passing the video game (which is, of course, programmed to pass you eventually. Who would buy a computer program that would just insult your singing forever?) meant passing the real judges who also was convinced that Kara was Paula. I loved that way kept telling her, "Paula's gone," and she'd say, "I know, I know," and 30 seconds later call Kara "Paula" again. And then, after being unanimously rejected for her toneless shrieking, she told Ryan that while Simon had claimed to dislike her (After all, her Simon avatar liked her, so Real Simon must be lying.), nonetheless, "Paula" still wanted to pass her. Honey, Paula, watching at home, said no to you too.<br /><br />The minute they start telling a story that will "touch your heart," I hit "Mute." No suspense, because, as you accurately pointed out, they never reject someone whose miserable backstory (She was raised by bears, and then the bears got polio,), and I don't tune in to be touched. I tune in to see teh delusional freaks make fools of themselves, and tehn hear Simon slam them. <br /><br />I'll bet they <i>do</i> reject some of the horrible backstory folks, but we never see their backstories. I mean what kind of home did Bad-Skin Guy come from that he finds Chris Browne a role model, and sees "touching young kids all over the world" as laudable rather than creepy? Somewhere (Switzerland), Roman Polanski was saying, "I like this guy."<br /><br />The sick, evil part of me wanted, when the girl whose grandmother has Alzheimer's called Granny to tell her she passed through to Hollywood, to then hear over the phone: "Who are you? What is Hollywood? Why are you tormenting me this way? Leave me alone, whoever you are!!!"Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-92100203150372605572010-01-13T16:37:12.065-08:002010-01-13T16:37:12.065-08:00So we both vote for her.
