American Idol Goes Country

Finally!

Last night American Idol went "Country" with Martini, er, Martina McBride as the mentor/coach. I am a big fan of Martina and her music. Naturally, I was excited. All for nothing.

The best entertainment from the show came from people trying to sing what they think is country. (Confidential to Sanjaya: it is not Bonnie Raitt.)

The second best entertainment was watching Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell try to judge (allegedly) country performances. They resorted to commenting on choreography and costumes. (Confidential to Sanjaya: please, PLEASE, hire a stylist!)

Thankfully, Martina performs tonight. Watch it and you can see how it's done. The right way. Finally.

Harlis, honey, it is Bonnie Raitt. Someone else may have plucked it out on a banjo at the Grand Ole Opry before Bonnie did it, but that song was a HUGE hit for Bonnie Raitt. Sanjaya has enough problems--don't give the poor low-talent boy more! :)
