I like American Idol. So sue me.
A lot of my friends give me grief for watching American Idol (especially those in my band). And for blogging about it. Then again, one of my favorite books is Richard P. Feynman’s What Do You Care What Other People Think?
I did consider alternatives to blogging this season. After reading a post on Freakonomics, I thought that I’d take the money that I didn’t get to spend on a Nintendo Wii and wager it on my American Idol picks on Tradesports. And not blog at all. But I’m not really the betting type.
I do, however, like the stock analogy for reviews: buy for above average, hold for average, sell for below average. So I’ll keep it brief this year. And I’ll shut up and stop blogging if I’m completely wrong (which I doubt I will be).
So here are my AI picks for today’s episode (in singing order):
- Rudy Cardenas – sell
- Brandon Rogers – sell
- Sundance Head – sell
- Paul Kim – sell
- Chris Richardson – buy
- Nicholas Pedro – hold
- Blake Lewis – buy
- Sanjaya Malakar – hold
- Chris Sligh – buy
- Jared Cotter – hold
- AJ Tabaldo – hold
- Phil Stacey – buy
