What happened at american idol last night (the Battle of Atlanta)?
Last night our singing carnival wagoned south to the land of red dirt and REM. Georgia was the spot! In the big GA our judges found… Well, not a whole hell of a lot, actually. They found Mary J. Blige. Yes, MJ was the guest judge for this go around, and as much as I like her… I kind of don’t. See she’s such a good singer of good songs — percolatin’ and no more drama and the Days of Our Lives theme! — but on the show last night she just seemed kinda bitchy. I know that this show has become an institution and the cameras are there so folks probably feel like they need to act one way or another lest they seem out of place, but is there any reason for a grown ass woman to huff and snarl and put her head on a desk loudly when an innocent nobody walks into a room and starts warbling at them? MJB was allll huffy and groany and eye-rolly and it just made her look petty and dumb. And she is neither of those things in her songs! And yet… Sigh. I suppose Idol can slay the best of us. Randy,
