AI... Yes I watch AI...

All-be-it mostly in fast forward from my trusty DirectTV DV-R :) Is there any other way to watch reality TV. Besides, why watch it live, turn the channel when an atrocious singer cries out out-of-tune, risk missing something of huge embarrassment and not having the opportunity to rewind because it wasn't recorded on the DV-R... yes I know...GEEK!! And I'll have you know, I'm perfectly ok with that label :P

Ok back to AI (American Idol). If you watched last night, then you know it was Diana Ross "The Boss" night. How, oh how could these young aspiring singers manage to mangle this night. After all, there are so many classic songs to choose from that are timeless and just need to be re-sung in your key of choice, right? WRONG! Oh soooooo very wrong.

Most were average karaoke performances. The two standouts, as usual, were great and did just what I mentioned above. The Jordan kid is cute, but not on their level but above everyone else(for the time being). Now let's get to the meat of my annoyance. DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT remix, update, rearrange, or do anything else along those lines to a CLASSIC, TIMELESS Motown song you fracken morons. How hard is it! Hello!!! Do you not understand the terms Classic and Timeless. If not, grab your nearest dictionary (either online or in the physical) and look it up. But just in case you have problems comprehending the written meaning, I'll help you out. In terms of music,classic and timeless means being able to hear the original recording in present day and the song is still flawless and touches your soul. No matter if it's 10 years later or a thousand years later. In other words, DON"T TOUCH IT YOU FRACKEN POMPOUS, BRAINLESS MEDIA WHORE!!

I must add this, I don't totally blame the arrogant twits that took it upon themselves to remix and mash-up their song of choice. I blame the current entertainment atmosphere they were and are raised in. The one that has no value for classics. We've all witnessed the horrendous remakes of motion picture classics, that for some reasons the thought of just re-releasing the original to expose it's greatness to a new generation, somehow escapes the movie-pusher Gods' tiny minds. So it only seems natural that these little peons regurgitate the same bad judgments they've been exposed to.

Either way, I have just one suggestion. Listen to, learn, and feel the meaning and soul behind a classic song before you put your grimy little hands on it. If you do this, and truly do this, you will probably hold this classic song near and dear to you as many of us who understand the pricelessness of the classic song do.

I'm just saying... Stop rewriting the past and learn from it.
