Happy Holidays!

American Idol 3/13

There's never a fashion cop around when you need one, know what I'm saying, dog? Here it is, the first night with the big set, the big band and the final twelve singers, and host Ryan Seacrest comes out looking something like Clem Kadiddlehopper. To be fair to Red Skelton, Clem looked like he was supposed to.

That suit, however expensive, was probably last seen in the late sixties or so. Retro works, though, or would have had he not found an ugly mud colored shirt with an oversize collar to go with it. At least he wore a necktie, but again, an absurd color choice that didn't match either the shirt or the suit.

Fine, maybe that's what they're wearing these days on the coast. But to also come out like you haven't shaved since the Daylight Saving time change, the famed Seacrest perma-scruf look, just shows no class.

The singing, drawing on the many hits of Diana Ross, wasn't great overall, and it still looks like a LaKisha / Melinda finale. If they're safe, America can do no wrong, but hopefully Sanjaya will be sent home tomorrow. Even though Haley was just as bad, legs trump hair I suspect.
