Tuning in with Thomas Conner
I hope he sings without the vocoder again. Contrary to a lot of others, I thought the fact that the vocoder failed and revealed that Kanye pretty much can't sing actually aided him. Made him seem more real.
And then Simon can bitch about how singers should sing and rappers should rap, and Kanye can throw a tantrum akin to what he did at Grant Park a few years ago.
Actually, this could be the first time American Idol has ever been worth watching!
