What a curious turn of events, with Katy Perry seemingly blessing Carrie Underwood’s arrival on ‘American Idol’ as if it’s the latest season of a reality TV show about being a celebrity judge. ‘She knows how to steer it?’ Perry might be the only one who actually enjoys that phrase. And, oh, what a ‘true’ understanding Underwood has of the judges’ shoes – a comfort she’s sure to share with us all in her emotional outbursts. The show’s premier on March 9? I’m thinking ‘Marching towards obscurity.’ As for the boycotters, they’re more persistent than a bad case of reality TV addiction. And for those who are tuning in for the first time ‘because of the Grammy winner,’ perhaps they’ll find it’s the sound of Underwood’s tears that really gets the crowd going. Katy, with your ‘make space for other things’ speech, perhaps we should make space for some fresh blood and not the same old tired judges’ tales.
