The video is horrendous, but the song is phenomenal*

(via CL)

And by "song", I mean what is shown for the majority of the video, "Ordinary Love". The piece at the end, "I'm So Hot" comes across, to me, as your standard r&b, but "Ordinary" is a total gem. Both songs are by Paris Bennett and for the life of me right now, I can't remember what season she was on, but it had to be within the last 2 years.

Gospel fans will know her as the granddaughter of Sounds of Blackness lead singer Ann Nesby.

Enjoy, and tell me what you think in the comments!

* =not awesome as in it will be one of the great songs 400 years from now, but awesome in the respect that it's a really good pop/r&b tune that is as good as anything out there right now, and considering she's an Idol reject and not named Clay Aiken, this is a miracle)

The only American Idol prediction you will need.

Okay folks, so what we have here is a classic ratings ploy by FOX and American Idol.

I found a youtube clip (posted below) of Sanjaya with the Total Experience Gospel Choir singing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot". He was AWESOME.

Way better than he's ever been on AI.

So, I think of course the producers know this and they have told him "we want you to sing sorta wack and we'll keep you on week after week no matter what the vote is. And then, towards the end of this season, you will sing as you normally do, which is great, and then it'll be a shock and we'll sell alot of records and you will have a career and we'll get great ratings since this season has sucked."

You don't believe me? Then how can one kid go from being so good to being so bad so quickly?:
