it's like havinga beauty contest and finding the ugliest people in the world... once, just once could ONE of the fucking people on that show know how to play something, or understand what a key is...

it honestly has to be one of the worst shows on tv and it sickens me people can actually like that shit... I guess Backstreet and Nysnc and Spears did the same thing though... it's just sad that people like that are your IDOL...
Not everyone watches American Idol. I certainly don't. I strongly oppose the principle of creating pop stars like that - music should be about the music, and who created the music, not their clothes or their hip dance moves. The fact that nine times out of ten someone else produces their music (a pop/rap/r&b song wouldn't be much if it weren't for the production) irks me since a lot of these mainstream millionaires are just singing their trite, dumb, overrated, superficial balads over what really makes it music (if you can call it that) - the production. Every time I'm switching channels and there's some video on, it's likely to be some 22 year old female singing the same old bland, unoriginal lyrics (And sometimes, in a burst of UBERTALENT, they might even be playing their own guitar - a bland, unoriginal four chord progression, recycled from hundreds of thousands of lame tunes over the last few years)..
