Doesn't it seem as if there are double the number of sob stories this year? This season is way too Gokeyized.
And I think some of these are a stretch, and some are just repetetive. Tourettes, cancer, single mom, poor hillbillies, facial paralysis, foster care, special needs kids, gangbanger parents, alzheimers, down syndrome...I know I'm missing some, but I've only been watching at 50% attention. What will we get next week? Dyslexia, sudden death of a parent, hangnail, lactose intolerance? I wonder how may of these people are in the rumored top 24 and how often we are going to hear about their backstories as the season goes on? AI seems really broken this time around. Just let them sing, dammit. |

Countdown till we get someone who was abducted by aliens and anally probed, while being forced to listen to Celine Dion's greatest hits....over and over and over again.
Or more realistically, maybe we will get some abducted child who was held in a dark basement for 10+ years. It also won't be long until Idol sees its first "Make a Wish" kid.

Remember how long it took before anyone knew David Cook's brother had cancer? Or that Fanny was illiterate? Or Clay's daddy abused his mom? I miss those days.

In the next episode of American Idol:
the singer with no lips who survived necrotizing fasciitis (flesh eating disease) How a singer with erectile dysfunction has risen above expectations And a young women who pleads that dry vagina syndrome will not stop her dreams of being on top.

I would not be surprised if all 12 finalists have sob stories, and that the competition will revolve around whose sob story is more pathetic, as opposed to whose voice and personality and performance level is strongest. Hell, I bet all 24 semifinalists have sob stories. This show is turning into "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition".

It's almost a shame all the people from The Swan are over the age limit... |

1) my mother died giving birth to me.
2) my father was killed in the Vietnam war (highly unlikely, given the age limit. But Idol contestants will find a way)
3) my father was a millionaire till he took up gambling and lost it all. 4) my parents got married because my mother was pregnant. 5) ALL of the above, used simultaneously. 6) I am deaf. Especially when Simon is criticizing me. 7) when I was 14 I murdered someone. 8) I have no fashion sense whatsoever. 9) I keep getting arrested for having sex with talent show judges. and the best sob story ever.... 10) I have a fatal illness and will be dead in a year. This is not just my best, but my ONLY shot at stardom! oh, and here's one that WON'T work at all.... 11) I want to be the next Kris Allen. |

Vietnam War, not so much. However, "My father was killed in Operation Desert Storm" is a possibility.
