Farber: Bo Or Carrie Will Become Worst ‘Idol’ Yet

Jim Farber of the New York Daily News weighed in on the finale of ‘American Idol’ this week, not impressed with either Bo Bice or Carrie Underwood, calling the matchup “a cut-rate country singer vs. a man who does the least credible impersonation of a rock star since Pat Boone.” Farber added, “Whoever wins will be the worst victor in ‘AI’s’ four-season reign of terror. You don’t have to be Simon to know that 2005′s contestants have sunk to new lows. They’ve suffered from less sure pitch and a less nuanced understanding of the lyrics than ever before, and that’s a near Herculean feat.”
