Thread Name: BS: American Idol
Subject: RE: BS: American Idol
American Idol has had shows dedicated to the worst of their auditions. They had one where they egged on performers they knew were bad, unknowingly competing for the tile of worst of the worst... analogous to frat boys "Pig Night" dates.
The other thing this program does that offends me deeply is the way it passes on the idea that if you can't sing like some 3 or 4 octave radio-friendly vapid cardboard personality, then you shouldn't attempt to sing at all. Singing is a basic and sacred human joy and the fact that these shits debase it for their so-called entertainment value is sickening.
