Yahoo's Music Blogger Talks Kanye West's American Idol Performance

Lyndsey Parker critiqued the voice of our generation who rocked a 1990's all jeans outfit?!!!

A man would take the stage who sounded so very, very bad even WHEN PERFORMING TO TRACK, or even WHEN LIP-SYNCHING.

Why don't the Idol producers just get on with it, and pick the contestant with the most marketable face/body/haircut and A-list star quality? Because surely if that contestant can't, you know, sing all that well, that's nothing Timbaland or one of the Neptunes can't fix with ProTools, right?

NO ONE else on American Idol would get away with a performance like this.

I kind of agree with her. It sucks when American Idol contestants sound better than the A-list performers, but Kanye got his start in music from writing and producing. He's experimental and his next record won't sound like 808, so I'm not trippin'. I listen to different musicians for different reasons. Many of some of my fave songs come from singers who can't sing worth shit and some who can sing can't write worth shit and it's all very complicated and impossible for me to explain. Everyone has their own appeal for very subjective reasons.
