Wednesday

Just a few random thoughts before we get started. I am a "fan" of American Idol. I watch the show when I can, and I have some theories...don't we all...
1. When you go for the initial audition, if you have to beg or have your child or spouse beg for you to get you to Hollywood chances are you won't survive Hollywood.
2. If a judge tells you that you have a wonderful voice and you have talent then they tell you "but you need to be more youthful", DON'T LISTEN. Pick a song that showcases your voice anyway.
3. Don't pick a song with two many words, if you have to say 3 words in one second there is no way for your voice to shine.

I am sure that you guys have picked up on similar issues as you watch the show. As mean as Simon can be at least he will tell it like it is. I understand trying to let a person down easy in the beginning. I find it hard to believe that some of those people that audition really think that they can sing, we have some really good liars in this country if those people really thought they could sing. But when you get past Hollywood, the judges all agree that "you can sing", otherwise you wouldn't be there. Now you have to pick a song that convinces the American people that you can sing. I bet that more than 3/4 of the actual recording artists couldn't pass the board of American Idol judges. Wouldn't that be a neat show? Take about 12 "real" artists that have recording labels, make them sing different genres of music, a different kind every week, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s music, and then let America vote, I would love to hear the judges reactions. Anyway I am done. I just had to get that out of my system.

  1. Haha I completely agree on American Idol! Although I do also think there are some singers who they should even attempt to try to sing, like Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin. The show with the stars could be made even more fun if the judges could not physically see the star singers so they couldnt just judge them based on them being famous!

  2. LOL! I've had the same idea about American Idol. My DD is a huge fan - I like to watch the beginning where you get all the folks who think they can sing trying to show off.

  3. Totally agree with you and Simon is Brutal but he's honest. I tend to agree with him almost 99% of the time. BTW, love your blog! Great job!
