Thank goodness we don't have to watch the WHOLE thing. The trials are very painful so I watch starting with the last 12. I'm sure there's a lot of other "fluff" I don't need to see. There's lots of "behind the Idol scenes" shows to watch if that's your bag. The rules are public popularity - I approve 100% - I'm looking for a new entertainer, not just a singer. John Michael Montgomery it a terrible entertainer but a very good singer - bllleeeccch. Give me mediocre singer but an upbeat entertainer any day. If it "isn't for viewer enjoyment", you and are certainly disproving that statement. Contrary to your post, i believe your cup is really 1/2 full. AZDAVE In a message dated 4/9/2008 6:29:05 A.M.

I too enjoy watching AM IDOL Contest. However, I know that this program is just another TV Reality Program that got extremely popular and perhaps out of hand, lol. These are some of the reasons. 1. The contest and rules are not registered with any Federal or State organization. 2. The standards change each week, song, performance, clothes, pitchy.... on and on... 3. Views don't see the actual numbers of calls 4. The program is not for viewers enjoyment, but rather the owners of the program, 19 entertainment 5. The winners over the last 5 season has yet to produce a Beonce (sp) quality performer after all that money. 6. Its a very in-house controlled show. We only see some of the end results. Other than that, I'm a faithful watcher and enjoy the show each season. Best Wishes In a message dated 4/8/2008 10:15:57 P.M.
