Ed Abrams

If it hasn t already become ever so apparent, I am over way over this season of American Idol. It s just some more of the same ol garbage recycled and spit out of the great American fame machine, and it s sickening. (Ed. Note: I would give anything to be in the Top 10.) But maybe our problem with Idol isn t the contestants Scotty McReRe, the paper-thin-wristed country singer; Casey Abrams, former star of Killer Clowns From Outer Space it s the songs they re singing. Over in England, one contestant on Britain s Got Talent has decided to turn your usual auditions on their side. His name is Edward Reid, and while I applaud his novel take on reality show auditioning - belting out Old McDonald and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star I sort of wish he would have stuck to their original melodies rather than just putting the lyrics over the One Republic song Secrets and Snow Patrol s Run. You could make people weep to the original Old McDonald if sung slowly and chock full o melisma. Thankfully, this man s stunningly beautiful pigface (genuinely pretty) and finger wagging still make this video a Must Post. Enjoy playing this to your too cool for school kids. (Ed. Note: You should probably send your kids to school already.) Edward Reid Sings Nursery Rhymes to Run backing by UCANLEARNPOKERdotCOM (Popeater via Gabe Liedman)
