I'm just not feelin' it, dawg

Tonight was the first results show on American Idol and four would-be superstars got the boot: Melinda, Sarah, Jared, and Judd. I think America did a pretty good job of voting this time. The lessons that should be learned from this week's performances are 1) don't sing a Celine Dion song unless you actually are Celine Dion (Melinda), 2) don't sing a group number that requires background vocals (Sarah), 3) don't sing off key (Jared) and 4) don't wear red velour pants if you're a guy (Judd). Personally, I thought Judd's performance was entertaining and I give him props for not singing a whiny ballad (a Michael Bolton song, Joseph? PUHLEASE!). It's going to be a great season and I'm looking forward to everything but Ryan Seacrest's lame jokes. Rock on, Idols!
