Sylvester Stallone and Contender
So there's a new reality show (The Contender). And I feel onboard with it even though its not even out yet.
I was never a big fan of American Idol. If anything, it stemmed from Kate in some form, or me making fun of people who got pwned by Simon, and other than that, the final 10 idea got kinda old -- ppl sing, they talk about them for about 30 minutes, and "America votes."
American Idol was on last night, and its the final two. I thought "How the hell are they going to fill up an hour's worth of material?" I apparently forgot from two years ago when I saw the Kelly/Justin finale. They each sang two songs = 15 mins max. the rest was hype/background, which i thought was BS.
Anyways....
The show is basically American Idol, but instead of singing, its boxing. Sylvester Stallone (who was hilarious by the way) made some really good points about what the show is about. He was talking about how boxing has been weak lately -- the most popular/well-known guy = promoter (Don King). So hes thinking by showing some fights, and showing a little background, the character of the boxer would be more known, especially being on primetime of a network.
I guess this seems more valid since I know a lot of singers and there are tons of young talent and lots of great voices and performers.
Boxers...don't know much.
Going home was weird. I feel like I haven't been in my house in a long time.
Time for class.
