American Idol


I have my ups and downs about this show. I really liked the auditions because they are so funny. A lot of people only watch the first part that allows contestants to make an ass of them selves on national television. The people really have to go through 4 additions before they can get to Randy, Paula, and Simon. But to find out that at the end of the day it was just to get more viewers. Great marketing strategy. I must say that it definitely worked. I for one haven’t missed a show yet this season for the first time ever. I really enjoy watching those talented people sing their hearts out. Too bad all of them can't be the winners. Too bad it’s not my show. The sad thing about this show is that a person can get booted off the show for wrong choice of song.

American Idol is so big now; they have decided to use this as an opportunity to give back. They are going to be raising money to help eliminate poverty in the states and also in Africa. I think it’s a wonderful win-win situation. This is how it’s going to work. You watch and vote for your favorite contestant, sponsors donate money for every vote. You can also donate from home as well at americanidol.com. I really think that it’s a great way to give back. Why not? So make sure you watch and vote. I will.
