Steven Tyler being hit on by a 15 year old: your American Idol discussion thread

This is creepy in the exact opposite of the direction I expected this season to be creepy.

SO DOES ANYONE ELSE HERE WATCH AMERICAN IDOL. I am kind of enjoying this season wherein the judges of this singing competition will occasionally comment on the singing, on some level other than "I liked it" "I didn't like it" "pitchydawg" and "kill yourself".

On the other hand their exploitation of people's heartbreaking tales of personal tragedy is magnified this year due to what seems like a greater than previous willingness to throw those people off the show, while round after round promoting the emotionally unstable girl who can't sing because they love taping her theatrics. Like I would kind of rather watch Danny Gokey advancing round after round while smirking and clutching his wife's ashes like Paul Bearer than I would seeing the mother with the autistic daughter thrown out in the awful goddamn group round.

The bit about the emotional-freakout girl is especially awful considering that totally excellent White House intern who sang Otis Redding is apparently still on the show but has received no screen time whatsoever.

Thread tag: my most abusive use of them ever?
