Random Thoughts – February 18th
Handicapping American Idol
OK, everybody the wait is over. It’s time for El Presidente’s American Idol preview. Now for those of you who are new to the Stool, let me give you a little history lesson. I have successfully picked the winner of American Idol before the first elimination show has even aired 5 out of the last 6 years. I’ve often said that God gave me three gifts in life. The first one is the ability to get a great parking spot under any circumstance. I’m telling you that I could get a spot right in front of Giacamo’s on Hanover Street at 8pm on a Friday night if I need to. The second gift is the ability to spot a bad fashion trend before I fall victim to it. I was the guy in middle school who never pegged my jeans. I just knew it looked stupid. And finally I can spot the American Idol winner a mile away.
Now I’m not saying that I’m proud of any these natural born abilities, but it is what it is. Anyway, last year was the first year I didn’t correctly pick the winner as I had Chris Richardson and I think he came in 5th or something. But he did bang LC from the Hills during the show so that has to count for something. Plus, I had Blake coming in 2nd which he did, but whatever. The streak had to end sometime right? Anyway, this year I’m looking to bounce back with a vengeance and start a new streak. So without further ado, here is my 2008 American Idol preview.
Colton Berry 100-1
Colton was the last guy to make it into the Final 24. His quote on Americanidol.com is “hey, girl, hey.” What the fuck is that? I think I could find 5 guys who live in Abington who would have a better chance than Colton Berry. Last one in, first one out. That’s the way it goes.
