American Idol

I don't really understand if people watch American Idol because they find it amusing or if they actually think the contestants are talented and that they will eventually become stars. Let me tell you guys something, the contestants might be talented kids all trying to make a name for themselves, but none of them are actual stars. This is true about every contestant on every single season. Kelly Clarkson might have had a few good hits, but really there is nothing special about her. I don't even know anyone else from the show, other than that hot blond chick that used to date Tony Romo (I think her name is Jessica Simpson).

Anyways, I did happen to catch it last week, when the contestants all did their own versions of Rolling Stones songs. They were all pretty much horrible.

To make up for it, here are just a few of my favorite Rolling Stones covers.

The Sisters of Mercy - Gimme Shelter



Cat Power - Satisfaction



Tori Amos - Angie



Rage Against the Machine - Street Fighting Man



Del Shannon - Out of Time



Social Distortion - Under My Thumb



The Sundays - Wild Horses
