I am so very unhappy with tonight's American Idol. The Beatles are not country, nor R&B or hip-hop. They're THE BEATLES!!! Tonight's show was demeaning to music and a travesty.
Every season I find myself overwhelmed with this feeling of disappointment when they have the contestants sing songs from exemplary artists like Elvis Presley and Whitney Houston. The Beatles and countless other classic bands/singers should not be allowed to be showcased and botched. End of story. What would Steven Tyler think if the contestants performed and butchered a few of Aerosmith's songs? Well, it's pretty clear what he would think seeing how in the ten seasons of American Idol ...Aersosmith has yet to sign a release to have their songs featured!! Ok, I'll slow down on the blog-soap-box....The truth be told; legends stand on their own-- untouchable and defined and The Beatles are just that...legends.
Sooo, to my friends reading this blog in the name of all that is holy in the music industry, I allow you to GRRRRR and be upset with tonight's American Idol and whoever thought it was okay to butcher The Beatles on National Television!!!
