So WHAT is up with American idol this season?

You know, I've been looking forward to American Idol for months, but I just have to ask - what is up with them this season? Normally it seems like there are a lot more talented singers than we've seen so far... and boy the pyschos are in full effect. That girl last night with the blond bowl cut and her eerily clone-like mom? What the heck? And to sing Pussycat Dolls... just wow. I can only assume they knew she sounded bad but wanted to get on the show.

On a positive note, I think I saw the first glimmer of actual TALENT - the young man from India (I can't spell his name, can anyone help me out?) gave me goosebumps. His sister was good, but cold - very technical. He, on the other hand, was warm and very relaxed (once he got going.) His biggest two challenges will be his shyness and his sister!

Ah well, now my next 'TV event' will be Battlestar Galactica - I can't wait to see how they find the eye of Jupiter!
