When I saw the official photo released of the new “American Idol” judges, I felt a little sick to my stomach.
Perhaps I miss Simon? Dread the start of the new season? Or could it be a natural reaction to all the creases and crevices in Steven Tyler’s face — you know, that feeling you get after stepping off a bumpy roller coaster ride?
Turns out — it’s probably just the singing.
Researchers at Singapore’s National University Hospital found that singing spreads cold and flu germs more effectively than coughing or sneezing. A trained voice in particular produces a stronger, more penetrating plume of infection into the air.
Well, do-re-mi.
The researchers were conducting the study to determine how far to recommend spacing beds in hospitals that treat airborne illnesses.
Perhaps the results will bring a quick end to this season of “American Idol,” too.
One can only hope.
I don’ think all those crevasses are from singing. Rock stars lead one hell of a life style. I can see how germs could spread easier though. I’ll try not to sing when I have a cold from now on. Not that I can anyway.
It is an interesting photo though. Three people you would NEVER think to see together.
I don’t miss Simon. Since leaving AI though, he has gone up a notch on my list of pretentious people to hate. I think being engaged has something to with him mellowing out.
I would be interested in reading your full list of ‘pretentious people to hate.’ Sounds promising.
