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.
Deja who?
I did it. I missed the whole thing.
I did not watch a single moment of this season’s American Idol.
I’ll admit it — I walked away when Simon Cowell did. I didn’t see a need for the show to continue. And when I heard who they hired to replace him, I didn’t feel any differently.
Now, friends have told me I screwed up. That this was the most talented group of contestants yet. That it was refreshing to watch a show where the judges strived to create a supportive environment. (But some have said it was all a bit too nicey-nice as well.)
Good lord — it’s Clay Aiken.
I didn’t miss a thing after all.
