Landslide on American Idol last night

[Silver Springs]

I have a personal vendetta against people who cover songs I love on talent shows. Don't know what it is. It just doesn't sit well with me because they seem to be under the mistaken opinion that they have something new to a song that reached perfection when it's writer performed it with their own intended and felt emotions. Adding a profound meaning and "sob story" about how your Uncle's Goat just had knee surgery isn't going to win you any fans. It only makes you seem as though you have so little confidence in your own ability that you feel you have nothing to come to you but a pity vote.

Sorry. Tangent.
