The Naughty Little Mynx

American Idol, as usual, was weak last night. Thankfully there were a few less ballads, but the performances still seemed forced, and the band was still instructed to play badly (good grief what does the guitarist mangle to get tone that crappy?). Regardless of which contestents go home this week, we all lost (there was one exception - see last paragraph).

Mandisa was the only one who shined at all, and I can't for the life of me fathom why they praised McPhee's performance. It was artificial and simply fell flat.

There was a high point of the show, however, and that's when when Simon called Kellie "I've never been farther than 10 feet away from my trailer home" Pickler a "naughty little mynx". No one there was willing to fully explain on family television what Simon meant (disappointingly, even "shoot-from-the-hip" Simon didn't come 100% clean with his definition), but any red-blooded male TV watcher knows exactly what he was getting at.
