American Idol Goes Hollywood

By Amy @amypop · On February 16, 2010

Our longtime friend and new writer Dana is on board to recap Season 9 of American Idol which makes me want to watch it although her take on it is most likely far, far funnier than the actual viewing would be.

“It’s so sad seeing these contestants so excited and hopeful about making it through the first round of the first day of Hollywood Week. Learn to manage your expectations just a little bit, Youth of America. This is not actually “your future,” it’s a game show. Or maybe very little is required to change some people’s lives.”

“Michael Lynche, even though he’s missing the birth of his baby for Hollywood week — I support him because he’s singing “Waiting On the World to Change” and we need more people to cover John Mayer songs so I have to hear him less. See how much better this is without the singer sounding like he’s having severe intestinal distress?”

Check out Dana’s first dive into the AI pool here.
