A Worn-Out Divorcee should be the Next American Idol

Clearly Idol has a type. Not just for their crowned winner, but also in terms of the people who make it to the end, with very few exceptions.

Either a suburban chick with a set of pipes. (Kelly, Kat McPhee, Jordin, Melinda, Allie Iraheta )

... a mature possibly hot with a bit of gravitas and mysterious appeal (Daughtry, Bo Bice, David Cook, Michael Johns, Ace Young )

... a Disney-ready boyish boy (Justin Guarini, Clay Aiken, and of course Archuleta)

... pretty girls primed for country (Pickler, Underwood, Kristy Lee Cook)

... a sister with a voice that cuts straight through to the high heavens (Fantasia, Tamyra, Latoya, J. Hud)

... a guy with a clear style and incredible voice with no home in pop music (Ruben, Danny Gokey, Taylor Hicks, Blake)

SO, let's find somebody else.

How about ...

• A real good looking jerk-off guy who sings incredibly, but all the other contestants absolutely hate him. In fact, I want him to hook up with one of the other contestants (girl or boy), break up with them, and then hook up with someone else.


• An old-looking divorced gal who looks way too old but all paperwork says she's 25. She also sings with a lot of annoying vibrato.


• A Susan Boyle who undergoes a movie-like physical transformation during the show, and then as she gets prettier, her voice gets crappier.


• A macho looking guy who has a real pretty alto voice.


• A girl who sounds like she popped out of an animated Disney movie. i.e. Disney Voice.


• Someone who is already famous in some other arena, and we had absolutely no idea that they could sing like the Dickens. Maybe a champion ballroom dancer who also is an Olympic medalist? Or JON GOSSELIN??

Wouldn't that be so much more interesting that having an American Idol who "sounds just like Howie Day", or "could be the next Jason Mraz" ??

Because, we don't need another Howie Day or Jason Mraz. We already have one of each! Kris Allen, you were ok I guess, but frankly, you're just extra.

So, tell me what you think?? Don't we need a new kind of American Idol?
