WORST IDEA 4/29/10: It is, you know, a popularity contest

Siobahn Magnus, the latest castoff from American Idol told MTV that she wasn't performing on the show -- which decides its winner via public voting -- "to please other people." Fortunately, whether she was, or was not trying, Ms. Magnus did not, in fact pleae the American public. Perhaps someday soon she'll release an album designed not to please, followed by an appearance in a Broadway show she hope nobody likes, before finally ending up as an act on cruise ship that, hopefully, won't please other people.
