Idol insanity

Now that the auditions are finished, I'm all over American Idol.  Hollywood week, in my opinion, is the perfect cycle of drama, though I'm at a loss to describe exactly why.  My major disappointment this year is that we've seen so few people actually sing.  I know that the Idol is about more than singing; it's about being a commodity and a performer.  But before I start fake voting people out of the Top 36 ('cause I never really vote, I'm passive like that), I want to hear something from all of them.  For a "singing" competition, I don't think that is too much to ask.

But since we apparently aren't going to hear all of them sing, can I just say something?  WHAT THE HELL IS TATIYANA?!?!?!  I'm sorry, but how is this chick still around?  She is NUTS.  And while at times she seems to display some sort of decent singing voice, I'm sorry, there is no way in hell that this girl deserves to be on this show with an act like that.  I cannot think of a single music director or acting director that would ever put up with her desperate divaness, especially from an amateur.  If she were already an Idol and was pulling this crap people would probably allow it (though I can guarantee I would still think it was ridiculous), but I can't imagine any professional tolerating this BS.  I can't decide if her continued existence is for the drama or if she'll actually make it through on her voice.  

I'm in the middle of watching the episode where they present the Top 36 and they haven't clued us in to her fate yet but I can only hope that she goes the way of Bikini Girl soon.  Otherwise, I may actually call in the first week JUST to vote her off.
