the idle idol test.

i'm sure that, like me, many of you out there have been walking around in circles in your apartments mumbling, "after the break...after the break...." yes, i'm talking about american idol withdrawl.

some of its symptoms include: singing into the mirror and critiquing yourself; actually buying old paula abdul cds just to hear her voice; slipping in and out of consciousness; wearing warrior paint as you rehearse your audition song, while stocking up on non-perishable foods, batteries for your ipod, and old pillows you wouldn't mind throwing out after two days of sleeping on cold hard concrete in the rain only to have some ditzy mailroom clerk they picked to screen contestants tell you you're not good enough for the most mediocre singing extravaganza since madonna's last tour.

that last one rings true for me, as i have auditioned for american idol not once, but twice, with varying degrees of success. (i will detail these experiences in a future post, once they are not too painful to recount.)


so here is a test of your idol knowledge, some will be easy, some will be difficult. post your answers in the comments section of this blog. i'll post the answers when i feel like it. hey, it's at least something to do until next january.
