“American Idol” is off to a shaky start this year. I know the first several episodes usually feature talentless, shameless fools making jackasses out of themselves and thier families (that btw, think they are really good) on national television, but they really scraped up the bottom of the barrel this time. I love it!

Tuesday night’s episode of “Idol” brought pyscho-stalker Paul Marturano out of hiding, and we were all disturbed by that performance. But not to be outdone, on Wednesday’s show Renaldo LaPuz entered the audition room cloaked in white and silver, looking a bit like an adolescent seal caught in an environmental disaster involving aluminum foil and fluffy stuff.

And in a uniquely passive-aggressive way, the Simon, Randy, and Paula proceeded to snub the dude. And rightly so. In an effort to create a little tension-relieving comedy, the judges rammed headlong into LaPuz’s act, accompanying his wretched rendition of “We’re Brothers Forever,” a song he had personally written. Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul joined him on stage for over six minutes and it really did go on…. forever!

Simon Cowell even said, I have a strange feeling that song is going to be a hit. Yeah, it was so bad that Renaldo could be the next William Hung.
