The four wild card singers have been chosen, and I hopped onto a media call to hear Anoop Desai, Jasmine Murray, Megan Corkrey and Matt Giraud do their best to avoid dishing Idol dirt and bashing the other contestants, when you know they're simply dying to do both. I know we've marveled at this here before, but my god, they turn these kids into media-trained monkeys so fast I wonder if there's some mindwipe technology secretly going on here. Thank god for Anoop, or I'd have died of boredom by the end of this weekly exercise in futility. I've done my best to scour the other people's answers for the most interesting quotes, but Anoop is at the end and that's probably the only part worth reading, as the mindwipe technology doesn't seem to be taking in his case for some reason.
