American Idol Needs To Go

It's hard to believe that this show is still on. I suppose it's no accounting for the taste of the general public. None of these "singers" are really talented.  Why don't they just call it "cookie cutter idol"?   Every singer on American Idol feels the need to sing as loudly as they possibly can at the top of their lungs. With no idea about what purpose the song serves. No nuance. Just loud belting. No artistic interpretation.  But forget about all that. This show has been on the air for coming almost 20 years now?  And it has produced nothing. This show is also so dated. It's stuck in the early 2000's. We have had You Tube for quite awhile now. Alternative media is rising. No one really needs reality television anymore to get a fan base.

I remember when Richmond local Eliott Yamin was the toast of the town. We are about the same age. I remember being very jealous of him. Now I feel sorry for him. It's as if the show American Idol killed his career. Nobody has talked about him since 2006. What a shame. What do real musicians do? Why does American Idol have an age limit of 28? It's painfully obvious! Because once you're over 30,  you're  starting to wise up about life and it's not as easy for them to mold you and shape you and mass produce you into what they want. I have never enjoyed the show. At least "America's Got Talent" has some kind of personality. Some warmth. American Idol needs to go away. Forever.
