I'm not really a fan of the American Idol. Sure, it's fun to yell "Ahhhh, Kelly Clarkson" from time to time, and I really appreciate the music of Carrie Underwood, but other than that, I think the show is overrated and the judges are annoying (and possibly incoherent anyway).

That being said, I'm still looking forward to the start of the eighth season of the show this Tuesday (January 13). It's not because I can't wait to see which 12-year-old's closet Paula has raided this time; it's because I love to watch the singers who suck. It all starts out with a well-intentioned mom telling their child that they have a great voice, and the next thing you know, they're embarrassing themselves on national TV because they think they they's the next Stevie Wonder. But it's not just one tone-deaf idol wannabe - the supply is seemingly endless, which is why I'm so excited to see who thought they could sing this time around.
