The tribdog kind.
I love American idol. Simon may seem like a jerk, but 99% of the time I completely agree with him.

Didn't Andy Worhol come up with a name for this phenomenon; I think he referred to it as 'camp'. I believe the word means inanely interesting.

I used to like American Idol. And then they got too the finals and stuff. It was so fun to watch people get on stage and horribly embarrass themselves--like karaoke on steroids or something. Why'd they interrupt the good stuff with this finals crap?
