Just in case y’all were wondering…

Published February 28, 2008 american idol , jason yeager

…Jason Yeager was my favorite voice so far this season, and I’m sorry to see him go. No, he never really found his footing as a performer, and maybe his song “choices” (which, if you’re cannon fodder, really aren’t choices so much as producer dictates) weren’t 100% on the mark, but out of the guys, he certainly had the most interesting voice out of this year’s crop of reedy-voiced whiners, faux rockers, and OMG17!!111!-year-old heirs to the throne of Zac Efron.

Come to think of it, my favorite last year (Leslie Hunt) went out at the exact same time, too. Must be a pattern.

    Yeah, Jason pretty much started out with two strikes against him: no pre-24 pimpage, and behind the scenes producer tricks. He sang better than Luke at the very least, but unfortunately, doesn’t have Orlando Bloom looks.

    And I also like MEN singers better than precocious teenagers. Meh.

What the kids are sayin'



"I hate them all. The judges, TPTB, the blatant manipulation, the songs, the contestants, everything. I'm a die-hard Cook fan, but for the love of god, at least try to look like you're enjoying yourself up there! Please? Syesha was awesome but she ruined it by being completely shameless and disgusting. Yes, being on American Idol is exactly like the civil rights movement, except for the part where you're fighting to make the world a better place."



"All I can say after the disgusting display tonight of favoritism towards the mediocrity that is David A. - good luck trying to market and make money off of that kid, American Idol. (Not to mention good luck dealing with his father.) All the teeny boppers may buy up his American Idol coronation single, but they will quickly forget about him before the album comes out. And I shudder to think of a David A. album - song after song of unrelenting sameness and heavy breathing. Why they are pimping him for the win is beyond me."



"This show was simply a hot buttered mess tonight. And Jason "needs to be arrested for what he did to I Shot the Sheriff. But I hope he stays. He amuses me. "
