the other AI

the most important AI in my life is allen iverson. however, there is a seasonal AI that comes along every year known as american idol. the season has come and i'm a little overwhelmed...enough that i even skipped watching all the audition shows b/c i knew that sooner or later AI would just take over my tv watching. and if you want to keep up with it right now you have to devote FIVE flippin hours a week to watching. i'm sorry but i just can't do that. i refuse to watch 2 hrs tuesday, 2 hrs wednesday, and an hr on thursday.

therefore i think i will be a 2%er watcher until it goes down to the top 12. last nite i caught the last 20 minutes or so of the guys performances which was almost the perfect amount. i suffered thru, what i thought to be, 3 kinda terrible performances and then was able to see the short 5 sec recap of all 12 at the end. and right now i am not thoroughly impressed with any. in fact, i was a little terrified by some...cringed at others. however, i know they will grow on me and gosh i hope that they improve.

the girls go on tonite and i probably won't watch that either. i know i know..i used to be so gung ho on AI but this year i just don't know if i have it in me. im not throwing in the towel completely though...im just going to sit the bench for a while until things get a bit more exciting.

anyone watching AI? thoughts?
