If you haven't watched American Idol in the last 6 seasons, you don't have a TV or you don't have cable. Maybe you haven't actually sat and watched a single hilarious episode, but you had to at least have seen small portions on commercials. In any case, it is well known what the show is about in the beginning. It is no secret that the contestants in the beginning are a laugh riot. We have all watched as the contestants throw their little tantrums after being rejected for really bad singing. We know that the judges, especially Simon, will tell the contestants how bad they sing. ITS NOT A SECRET FOLKS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR!
Now, that being said, why is it this year it is all over the TV that Simon is so cruel, picking on people, being meaner than he has ever been. I have watched this show since the beginning. I don't miss an episode. I need to laugh that hard, we all do at some point in time. The judges this year are no meaner than they ever have been in the past. They have always sat with their mouths hanging open at the incredibly bad singer, and told it like it is, including Paula at times.
We have only seen the first four hours of the season, and already it is all over that they are just out of control. Personally, I don't think so. When these people stand in line to be contestants, they know what they are doing. They know that they are going to sign a paper saying anything they say or do will be the property of American Idol. If they don't know this, they don't have to sign the paper once they find out. I also believe most people know what they sound like when they open their mouths to sing. I know I do. At times I am good, but a lot of the time, I should only sing in the shower. How can a person not know what they sound like.
So, now these people get up in front of the judges, some of them don't know the words to the song they are singing, some couldn't carry a tune in a paper bag. They get out there, in front of the judges and cameras mind you, and start screeching out some tune that they feel is just like the original singer. Some "performers" are so flat, you wonder what music inspired them. Who tells these people they can sing before they go stand in line at the auditions? Who is giving them this mis-information about themselves. One young 16 year old came out crying and spewing profanities at the judges because he wasn't sent to Hollywood. He was really crying, and said" I'm 16, I wanted to start out famous" . His mother put her arms around him and told him "You will be famous honey, you will."
Now this brings us to the next step in the game of American Idol. Why do these people act like this? It is an audition, from a real production company, what do they really expect. This is why the show is so popular, this part of the screening process. So these people come out of the audition room screaming profanities at the judges, saying Simon doesn't know what he is talking about, and they don't know what they are missing. It just goes on and on. If you haven't seen the show, you need to, cus it is funny.
I wonder, now that the show is on the air, what do the filmed contestants now think of their performance's. Do they still see themselves as good enough to win American Idol. Can they really compare themselves to say Kelly Clarkson, the first winner, or any of the runners? I really hope they have come to their senses.
