Ok, maybe the heading is a little overkill but all I seem to be hearing and seeing these days is the breaking news that "American Idol" is about ready to start its new season. I really just have to say that I don't get it. Every once in a while it's ok if you get someone like Paul Potts (if you haven't heard Paul or watched this clip do so it is well worth the time) who steps into the spot light and reminds us that there is a lot of hidden talent that we never get to see because it just doesn't seem possible.
The real problem that I have with "Idol" is the early auditions that they show of people who for one reason or another no one has ever told, "You really shouldn't stand on that side of a microphone." I understand and appreciate that you might not know or accept this when you are 16 or 18 but by the time you are 25 or even older I would hope that you have some friend in your life that might pull you away from the karaoke machine and say "You really aren't as good as you think you are, maybe there is something else that you are good at that you haven't tried yet."
Just one of the little rants that I have and a reason why I won't be tuning in to this new season.
Coming soon: The flip side of the above rant and maybe the reason why I feel as I do.
