Candice Glover Is Everything

1. I really like garbage television. There are heard me confess this before on any kind of millions of occasions, Spudsy—who exclaims at me at least one time per month "It's surprising the shit you watch!" (making me laugh and laugh)—or Deeks—to whom I suggested Ghost Mine last night—or other people you never know me will gladly read the details. I'm an incorrigible aficionado of garbage television.2. Perhaps, the garbagiest of garbage television is The American Idol Show, for thus a lot of reasons. Each season, it will get much more unfathomably gargbagey compared to season before. This year, the typical mess of kyriarchal codswallop has been accompanied with a heaping dose of body regulating from new judge Nicki Minaj, who's so excellent when she's not congratulating someone on their own weight reduction or telling a lady contestant to exhibit her legs more.3. However I can't stop watching this year, because CANDICE GLOVER IS EVERYTHING.Video Description: Idol contestant Candice Glover, a youthful Black lady, works "I Who've Nothing," made famous by Ben E. King, Shirley Bassey, and Tom Johnson.Ben E. King's form of this song (that we love, despite it's Nice Guy/Girl-ant lyrics) is among my personal favorite tracks ever. True Fact: I had been just hearing King's version on the loop Monday mid-day, coincidentally. And Candice is my personal favorite contestant this year because OMG HER VOICE, and so i was essentially in paradise last evening. Is exactly what I am saying.
