Overrated Vampire Bully To Reappear On American Idol

thumbnail icon: Overrated Vampire Bully To Reappear On American Idol

Wait a second, Quentin Tarantino is going to make a guest appearance on American Idol AGAIN? As in THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED? It is totally fair and legitimate to fire me, but unfortunately you cannot, because I quit. Then again, if I'm going down I'm taking a lot of you with me, because as far as I'm concerned, Tarantino's name should never be allowed in print without a parenthetical bio-fact tagged on at the end. As in "Quentin Tarantino (Director of Jackie Browne, Guest Judge on American Idol, 2004)." No wonder Republicans hate the media so much and call the media a bunch of liars.

According to Scandalist, he will not be a guest judge this time, but simply a mentor to the contestants for next week's "Songs of Cinema" episode. Sure. The real question is will he dress like a 12-year-old boy in a J.C. Penny commercial from 1999?

By day, he's an overrated vampire bully, but by night he is Secret Agent Cody Banks.

Speaking of great music, I am pretty sure this song was written about my feelings towards Quentin Tarantino.

I sit on you, Quentin Tarantino.

Hahaha this is awesome.

Tarantino is only acceptable behind the camera, i.e. neither seen nor heard. And even then he's overrated.

As a rabid anti-American Idol advocate, I know that this countries war against AI is all but won. You have a singing competition where Quentin Tarantino is the MENTOR? Forget Renee Flemming, Bryn Terfel, you know, American's with voice training...let's get the Pulp Fiction guy to teach them to sing. Oh dear...

Instead of Quentin Tarantino, they should have Norm MacDonald doing his Tarantino impression. And then maybe Darrell Hammond could do a Richard Dreyfus impression. And Kevin Spacey as Christopher Walken. Let the writers worry about the context...I'm just an ideas person.

Quentin is such a pain in the ass. I hope through some magical twist one of the contestants gets under his skin, ignores his advice, and makes him cry and question all his life choices.

More likely he'll be incredibly entitled and act like a heroin addict on uppers while the contestants fake-gush about how great he was helping them.
