Feeling angsty

Last night, we accidentally caught a glimpse of Idol and were mortified that some kid was attempting to cover a Nirvana song. I just listened/watched the whole thing and wow, nothing has ever made me cringe and want to pull out all my hair like this... ever! I was literally pulling my hair and soothing myself saying, "no, no, no...".

The thing is, Nirvana wasn't about singing or even playing music well, which is why it's so upsetting to first see someone try to mimic it and then to have J.Lo judge it. AND then on top of it all, the whole reason why this kid sang the song ("Smells like Teen Spirit" which is also like the cheesiest one to cover) was because he had to sing a song from his BIRTH year. Ok, my dear friends of my generation, do you not want to cry/throw up now?

If you must see it for yourself, I found the video on a an article entitled "'American Idol' desecrates Nirvana's 'Teen Spirit' as expected".

Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. I'll never speak of Idol again, unless someone tries to cover PJ Harvey or Radiohead.
