why hast thou forsaken... aww, forget it.

Unequivocal proof that if there is a god, it is definitely not a loving one:

"Andrew Lloyd Webber Night" on American Idol.

I'm soooooo glad I don't watch that show... That sounds like a pretty good definition of Hell, given a) how many of Webber's songs really shouldn't be performed ever, b) how often the remaining decent songs are over-performed, and c) how prone ALL of his songs are to overacting and other aspects of bad performance.

I'm not saying he doesn't have some good songs, I'm just saying... high on the list of things I don't ever want to have to hear is a bunch of wannabe teen pop-stars singing endless renditions of "Memory" and "I Don't Know How to Love Him."

That makes me kind of sad, because I would really kind of love (for certain values of "love) to hear a bunch of American Idol types doing, you know, "Buenos Aires" and "Simon Zealotes" and "Heaven on Their Minds" and "Waltz for Eva and Che". But I know that's not gonna happen.

Yeah, that's the problem with these kinds of things - they're only going to sing the really obvious songs that everyone is sick to death of.

(And thank you for the reminder - I really need to get around to hearing/seeing "Evita"!)
