 | Current mood:  silly Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities I love the show American Idol. I think it's one of the coolest things. It provides young and hopeful talent with an outlet to try out, perform, and possibly go on to stardom. I love the fact that many of the people who make it to the final 12 end up with a career of some kind even though they don't win. I also kind of love the fact that even if you end up being 2nd (Justin) you can fall off the face of the planet if you don't play your cards right. It's a great concept, an entertaining show, but they could make some changes... If I were Queen, which we all know I'm The Queen, but I have no real power over governments and stuff, the first thing I would do would be to make (like contractually binding make) Paula, Randy and Simon sing something on camera. I'd make them stand in front of axe murderers or psychopaths or something so they could feel as nervous as the contestants. Then I'd let the "panel" hurl insults at them and see if they like being in the spotlight... I think there would be little laughing from them. The second thing I would do would be to publish a list of the producers who do the first run auditions. I'd make sure their phone numbers and addresses were on the list and I would give that list to the people who "somehow" slip past the first round of auditions and end up getting laughed at when they hit Paula, Randy and Simon's room. Y'know how there's always a person with golden tickets sitting right by the door? I would make sure that person also had that producer list. The people who didn't get a golden ticket would get the producer list. I wonder how long it would take before only really good people got to round three? The third thing I would do would be to have the finale this year and have Paula, Randy and Simon come out on to the stage right before the new American Idol is announced. I would make it seem like they were going to be given some kind of award. Then, from a side entrance, I would have Donald Trump walk onto the stage. He would walk up to the rude threesome, grab the mic from Ryan (who I think is pretty sweet most of the time) and say, "Paula, Randy, and Simon...You're Fired." I'd hire some new people, people with talent who have made records within the last 5 years, at least, and I'd rotate the panel every year so that no one got too hoity toity... Yes, I said "hoity toity." Anyway, you can probably tell I just watched the show. LOL. That's my two cents worth. Your very own "American Idol wanna be but I'm just too old," Steph |
