TV: American Idol: 2/1/2005

Ok, I just had to put up a post on this: what was the deal with the friggin mime? I mean come on, if the producers were trying to keep up the illusion that they don't put certain people through for entertainment value, this totally blew it. I could tell the judges were pissed by such a blatant waste of their time, but they were at the mercy of the producers. If they all weren't millionaires I'd feel sorry for them for being forced to listen to (or watch) these idiots "perform" for the sake of ratings.
