American Idol returns

American Idol. I mentioned it here a couple of times already and I'll admit it - I love it! Yeah, I know, but it's the only reality show I watch and at least it's looking for really talented singers, not just spying on a bunch of people 24hrs a day...
Season 8 started last week (with a new judge Kara Lioguardi or whatever her name is) and we already have some special "Idol" moments.


First up Katrina Darrell aka Bikini Girl. Yep, this lovely young lady went for the American Idol audition wearing nothing but a teeny-weeny bikini and a whole lot of attitude - no joke! As if that wasn't enough she absolutely butchered Mariah's classic Vision of Love and got in a catfight with the new judge and Paula Abdul (and still got through surely thanks to her hot... timbre). This all conspired for a great moment in television- here's the video:



On the complete opposite of the human spectrum we have Scott Macintyre an inspiring young man who fortunately also made it through. Despite being born almost blind, Scott never let his condition stop him doing what he wanted. Among other incredible feats, he learned how to play the piano based on the distance of the keys! You can watch his segment below - I dare you all to watch it without smiling! Oh and you'll probably also feel embarrassed for Ryan Seacrest, the host, when he tries to high-five the blind contestant...
