So, I tuned in for this week's American Idol, pretty pumped to watch Slash do his thing, but what struck me most about this Tuesday's show was the fact that Kara DioGuardi is an idiot. Now, Paula used to be the show's resident loony, but since Kara's arrival at the beginning of this season, Paula has actually looked more intelligent in comparison.
Anyone who watches the show will surely be familiar with Kara's lack of original commentary, annoying "girl from da hood" phrases, tendency to lean back with a smug grin after making a "point", and generally having no idea what she is talking about. Tonight, for example, Kara had the audacity to label Adam Lambert as a "Rock God". First off, Kara is in no way an authority on rock. In fact, I'm beginning to doubt that she is an authority on music in general. But she would be the last person who I would deem worthy to dish out titles such as that. Second, Adam Lambert is not a "Rock God". Sure he can hit ridiculous notes and he's a great entertainer, but he's new to the scene, he's competing on American Idol (definitely not the road to becoming a Rock God), and he simply hasn't show that he has what it takes to join the likes of Led Zeppelin (especially after his somewhat underwhelming performance of Whole Lotta Love), The Rolling Stones, Slash, etc. The camera didn't show it, but I'm sure Slash at least chuckled when Kara said this.
Also, does it seem like Kara likes Adam a little too much? She fawns over him, praises him unnecessarily, and actually plays down the accomplishments of the other singers in an attempt to glorify Adam. Why? Who knows. We shall see...
The way she talks, dropping words and phrases in an incoherent jumble, seems like some last-ditch attempt to sound intelligent and knowledgeable, but especially tonight, on Rock Week, Kara has instead exposed herself for the noob she is.
