Suggested Questions For Viewers to Call In To American Idol To Enliven The Show

advertisement

As with Vacelts I find the weekly phone call questions on American Idol pretty insipid.

I decided to suggest some questions that would liven things up on the show.

Here are about ten. Feel free to suggest your own below

Question to Randy: You do realize most people – even clueless white people - stopped saying "dawg" and "yo" at least 3 years ago, right?

Question to Paula: What the hell does "pitchy" mean and are you sure you understand that your job as a judge is not to be a cheerleader for every single contestant right?

Question to Simon: Do you act more annoyed and irritated than you actually feel?

Question to David Cook: How do you respond to these complaints about not giving proper credit to the arrangers of the songs you did?

Question to David A.: How do you respond to the allegations your dad is, well, a bit of an asshat?

Question to Kristy – Did you choose the patriotic song because you feel particularly patriotic or because you knew it'd keep your chances on the show alive for the next two weeks?

Questions to the contestants (all must answer): What is the stupidest thing a judge has said to you so far in this show?

Which of the remaining candidates do you like least and why?

Which of the remaining ones do you consider least talented and why?

What musician would you least like to be your next mentor? 50 Cent? Weird Al?
