Last night, I obligingly sat and watched American Idol with my family. I hadn’t tuned in since William Hung brought his horrible, yet oddly entertaining rendition of Ricky Martin’s, She Bangs. Since then, I’m in the school of thought that wonders why (as my father empatically questioned) “anyone would watch this crap”…referring primarily to the talentless screamers and tone deaf contestants. Regardless, there’s some degree of comedic value watching someone try their hardest to belt out their best version of “Wanted Dead or Alive”…and instead produces sounds resembling a goose.
Katrina Darrell, bikini girl—–

Aside from the usual ‘make Simon cringe’ performances, American Idol threw in some twists to keep its audience intact. The addition of fourth judge, Kara DioGuardi, was somewhat surprising…but boring.
And rather than focusing on one really bad performance, the attention was spread out over multiple auditions — the chick with the pink hair and tats, the Asian guy with that enormous Bob Ross ‘fro, or the guy with the super deep Issac Hayes-like voice. Then there were the feelgood stories — the horror movie teenager that surprised everyone by not sounding like Marilyn Manson, the quick-witted nerd (he told Simon his jokes would be funny if they made sense) that serenaded the ladies with his James Ingram (in a Joe Cocker voice), and the blind guy who graduated from college at 19, and just blew it out of the water (hey, Seacrest…way to go on the high five. He’s blind, dude).
Despite all of these memorable performance, the one thing that everyone will talk about until the main event is Katrina Darrell aka. the bikini girl. My son even dismissed the previous girl with the beautiful voice and chose Katrina’s performance. When we asked him why…with complete resolve he based his decision on her appearance. (Don’t worry concerned parents…he got a lesson on judging people based on beauty and respect of the opposite sex…and that was his last episode of Idol…at least until there are finalists.) Kids say the darndest things.
She definitely caused unrest on the set. She vowed to make out with Seacrest if she got the golden ticket. She strutted into the audition, which resulted in a near cat fight between her and new judge, Kara. And now I can’t stand her after stooping to Katrina’s level — defending her singing skills by initiating a little sing-song retaliation and a Z-snap/head bob to finish her off.
“Oh no you di’int! Slut!”
*sigh*
She’s already got a few fan sites and a photo gallery on COEDMagazine.com. Pervs eveywhere are going crazy. (begin sarcasm) Thanks, American Idol. (end sarcasm)
