American Idol is back!

Well it's here! A.I. is now back and filling our screens and living rooms with a lot of embarrassing auditions and a few stunning performances. Last night's show was highlighted by the audition by a blind performer and 'low' lighted (is that a word??) by the sending to Hollywood of a bikini wearing girl who murdered a Mariah Carey song but apparently showed enough flesh to impress Simon and Randy. What already seems obvious is that true originality and unique talent will probably get overlooked by a collection of soundalikes. I've already heard the next...Carly Smithson, the next David Archuleta and probably the next Chris Daughtry as well....
