Take A Midol Already!

Michael had a few choice words about American Idol. It's your lucky day because I have a few choice words in response and I am waaaay bitchier.
Michael on Idol:
I didn’t watch American Idol last night. In fact, other than Tuesday night, I haven’t watched it at all. But when I did watch it, I knew that neither Bo Bice or Carrie Underwood deserved the title. Having said that, if it were a contest between the two, I would have had to give it to her.
And don’t tell me I can’t judge a competition by one show. For one thing, I know more about this shit than most of you. Second, if you want the title of American Idol, then you have to sing well all the time. And if you cannot do that by the last couple days of the show, then you certainly don’t deserve that honor.
M-E-O-W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll just say this, you are being awfully presumptive about our (those of us you've singled out) knowledge on this subject. You may know a lot about music but unless you actually work in the music industry signing talent, then you're no better judge than the rest of us. On top of that, you're being arrogant, bitchy and a little rude. Go buy some Marlboros, you'll feel better.
Second, "sing well all of the time", WTF? So to be YOUR Idol one can't be sick or tired EVER. One would never cancel a performance or perform less than perfect, one would have to be superhuman. I like my singers to be normal, thanks. And normal means that sometimes they perform while ill, or sometimes they have an off night. But they still perform because the show must go on. Some of us appreciate that dedication, while others sneer and bask in their own superiority. Whatever. But if you don't watch the show, then you have no business dictating who deserves any honor. The fans do, and you aren't one, obviously. Get back up on your high horse and leave us peasants alone. We are perfectly happy with Bo and Carrie, thankyouverymuch.

Bo's last night was pretty much rigged against him: two of the songs he was required to sing (no choice) were completely outside his normal style, and frankly his take on the one song he did get to pick (Vehicle) was lacking in energy.
The notion that good performers don't have off nights or get handed lousy material is just silly.
I've been pretty thrilled recently reading about his backgrond before going on AI. I had no idea he'd spent time working with a lot of the old school Muscle Shoals crowd. That explains a lot. :)
I know everything.
