I saw this guy on SNL singing this song.... and I thought, dang, he's pretty good. Shoot, I like this song.

Who is this dude?

Then I did something I hardly ever do. I waited till the song was over hoping to hear them tell me who it was.

Clay Aiken. Who the heck is Clay Aiken? I dunno.

Okay. Nice voice. Nice song. "Invisible".

Went to Amazon. Maybe I'll get a new CD eh?

Then I found out he was on American Idol.

So now I feel like a dope.

I despise American Idol. I don't like the stupid premise of the show. I don't like the abuse, I don't like the people on the panel of judges, I don't like the manipulation, I don't like the fake drama, I don't like the NAME of the show. I just don't like it.

But I had to admit I thought this guy was cute, and sang well, and I liked the song.

I'm trying to decide if I am going to hold the show against him or not.

Boy, it's a good thing that that show does not teeter on the brink of the shoulders of people like me. Call me crazy. Call me mean spirited. Call me old fashioned. But there is something just plain creepy about American Idol.

Or it could just be my current mood, which is more than mildly paranoid.

But dang, that boyo can sing...... :-)

I hate it when I get tangled up in my own biases. It's SO demeaning!

Now. . . . to buy or not to buy?
That is the question.
