Scott’s departure this week from American Idol actually came as a total surprise to me. Earlier this week I discovered the votefortheworst.com web site (which is currently down), and with the kind of publicity it gets, I assumed many people would vote for him just to throw the show a curveball. I was at the verge of casting my 1500 for Scott, and it would have made good controversial blog material. In the end, though, I weighted the emotions of the contestants, their family, their friends, their pets, etc. and just couldn’t pull the trigger. Playing a practical joke on the producers at the expense of the dreams of these contestants made my moral compass go haywire.
Next elimination? Anthony.
Speaking of American Idol, that brings us to the primetime story on Corey Clark. How convenient that after three years and shortly before releasing his CD that this story would surface? During the interview, his parents seemed nonchalant at the whole situation. Corey tried to play the innocent card, but if you observe the order of events carefully, it was Corey who first hugged and flirted with Paula. Corey is an opportunistic wanton. He first manipulates Paula during his competition, then gets booted for lying to the producers, and finally fabricates a story to promote his new CD.
If you even consider buying his CD, you might as well as buy all your music CDs in Hong Kong for 99 cents per burnt CD with poorly photocopied inserts. Either way, you’re positively reinforcing deception.
Just say no.
yay! Scott is off.
