I told my wife she was drawing in her eyebrows too high…
She looked surprised…

Stop Imagining.
I’ve been such a big fan since the beginning. But I feel that the show is close to being ruined almost jumped the shark using an old term. Here’s why I think this:
Religion- some religion is fine. Contestants who grew up singing in church should be true to themselves. By why does the entire show need to be a Christian singing show? It feels like this when all three judges regularly put their hands in the air, praise the Lord and have religious moments and they have religious week now. It’s creeping in more and more. Not everyone is religious - this is a material and has to be intentional shift from the centrist pop idol show it used to be.
Shift to country- with Carrie and Luke both being country singers (yes, Carrie likes rock and knows every song, but she’s still country), they seem to have a bias to country. Moreover, the voters have a HUGE bias towards country singers who are plain vanilla over quality singers. Case in point: Rae and Philemon -!he sang some country but was much more versatile vs Hannah who is classic almost old fashioned country. She’s very pretty but doesn’t move and has no style. But…she’s very Christian (yes, I said it),! Seems sweet and humble etc. that’s not American Idol material. That’s Christian classic country boring. Rae was better in every way but voters like middle schoolers didn’t like her confidence. Boo hoo. This should be about who’s your best friend. It’s about singing and who would make the best pop star- Christianity and purity should have no role…but it does
Color- I’m still very concerned that white people in the end win over anyone of color except in rare circumstances. Maybe I’m wrong, but in the top 5, Jordan has the most amazing voice, followed by Keyla and Brayden. Nobody else should win. If those 3 aren’t in the top 3, I think this is not about voice and we have a color issue again.
I know some will not like my opinion, but I wish we could have some change where poo singers with the best voices and personalities of an entertaining pop singer win and nothing else. I don’t know how this could even be done unless votes are rejected or there are lots of judges saves, but to me (maybe only me and my wife) it’s so disappointing that we sometimes hesitate to watch - but we still do. Ugh.
Orbit.
They’re always up to something.
But now I use my hands.
The audiologist puts me in a sound booth and plays all kinds of beeps in one ear and then the other. I raise each hand when I hear the beep. I feel really confident about the whole think, like I’m doing a great job. Maybe my wife will be proud.
When finished, the audiologist tells me that my hearing is perfect. She the spends 5 minutes lecturing me that my problem is that I don’t listen.
