"American Idol is the one chance some of these people have to get a singing career--"
Blah Blah Blah... shut up LOL
Reality TV is what it always has been. It's a twisted hoax that would be lucky to brush reality. My thoughts on this show have never changed, and they are well known by most of you. The show sucks. My contempt began with the very first season. That would be the one season where they actually played a legitimate card, and even then, they blew it.
First season: Judges actually interviewed everyone trying out because there weren't as many as any other season. The process took forever but they did it. The winner was promised a record deal. By the time they got down to 6 people, they all already had record deals, so they changed the grand prize to star in a movie, but when it came down to 2 and they picked a winner, they both ended up in the movie anyway.
Every season since then: There is over a week of trials singing for producers and executives before you even go near the big three, and even then there's a 50/50 chance that you got in front of them because you really can sing... or you REALLY CAN NOT. If you're anywhere in the middle, you get drowned.
Here's a few questions for you:
How does every audition episode have a montage of people that all sang the same song, even though you saw some of them sing a different one for Simon?
With thousands of people applying, how does someone like Sanjaya make the final cut for the performance portion, before the home voting?
If Sanjaya deserved to be there, and just two dozen or so people picked to be on the show in the first place, and thousands of auditions... how does one make it that Simon would threaten to quit if the guy wins?

Sorry, no link skills. Copy and paste once you're done reading this.
Occam's Razor. These auditions are fixed like every other part of the show. They put a couple of crappy, yet entertaining people on the final cut, and they expect them to be drowned out in the first couple of rounds. However, with only so many to make the show, this means that a handful of true talent had to be sacrificed.
If you actually check out the site, http://www.votefortheworst.com, and you actually read some of the truth behind the show, which has backable credibility, you'd see what's really going on. It's all just another hollywood scam, and it's designed, like any other show, to keep your butt on the couch and watch, NOT to expose new and potentially star-spangled singers.
Why does this bother me? One) I recently had an argument about it with an avid American Idol fan, and Two) That argument reminded me that I had a relationship END because of my discontent for this show. Although I guess I should thank the show for that, because she started sleeping with a gas station employee just three days before the custom-made engagement ring had been completed. God knows if the relationship was that fragile, the marriage would have been forged in hell. Small miracles in strange places.
Regardless, I actually applaud the efforts of VFTW. The show rapes you, and this site rapes them back. I bear no sorrow if Simon were to leave the show, because he's a large part of the system that has pulled the wool over the eyes of so many viewers. It's really funny to see him squirm with his own "prank" backfiring in front of his eyes.
He's basically saying, "We put Sanjaya on there expecting him to be funny for awhile and then get voted off. You are keeping him on the show, and I don't like that. If he wins, I quit." Sorry, Simon, you put him there, and we're keeping him there. If you didn't like him, you shouldn't have invited him to the final cut.
