American Idol: Two very different days

Tuesday’s American Idol, blah, Wednesday’s American Idol, awesome. I don’t know his name, but the 64-year-old contestant who tried to get on the show for his recently deceased wife was one of the best moments the show has ever had.
His performance was solid, and full of heart. You kids could learn a thing or two from this guy.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a clip for that. But I could find a clip of this crazy nut from Birmingham. Whoa.
To be honest, AI isn’t hitting its mark as often as it should. The rejects are...just bad. The girl last night who went out and got her mother to plead her case was an extremely low moment for the show (though Simon actually livened it up after they left by saying something to the effect of ‘I liked the mom, she was hot.’).
I am enjoying this controversy about Paula Abdul and her wild behavior. I don’t think it’s anything out of the ordinary (especially after seeing an episode of Next Top Model with Janice Dickinson—who beats Paula hands down). But watching Fox 6’s in depth story on the possibility of Paula being replaces by Courtney Love was amusing.
So, enjoy this clip. It’s pretty bad.
