American Idol

There's no question that American Idol and it's winners from years past produce the worst music in the industry (I don't think that is an overstatement). But what is worse about the show is how it is not "reality" television in any way. The producers show what they want to show to cast those they want to move on as heroes and those they want to lose, they either never show, or cast in a bad light. How is that reality?

I had heard about the website www.votefortheworst.com but just now checked it out today. Very entertaining. Make sure you read this article about what really goes on behind the scenes. I absolutely believe this happens. I think American Idol displays the worst of American pop culture, it is the pinnacle of how stupid we have become (i may have overstated that, maybe). At the least, it does a great job building stories around mostly "no-talent ass clowns" to quote Michael on Office Space.

Come on, look at these albums!














Do you notice how the album art all has one thing in common? It's clear that what they are selling is not the music. It's the person that you think you got to know during the season. I'm convinced that none of this has anything to do with music. Who's buying this stuff??? Seriously, who are you that buys this??? "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"
