In all the years it has run, it has had, in my view, ONE good song, namely Abba's Waterloo. The rest has been mindless crap, with neighbours voting for eachother. Any country can put foreward any singer. Since the US is years ahead of any other country in songwriting and song performing, you folks need to get it together as a stunt. I suggest that someone approaches Mike Love to re-write "California girls" as "Macedonia girls", perform it as the Beach Boys, and enter it either as the Macedonian entry (I'm sure they'd have it) or maybe the UK entry. It would get the votes of all the Balkan states and most of the other countries, and 1% of the revenues can go to MIU.

I have never seen American Idol and thus can't say for sure, but what I suspect makes this so different (besides preceding it for decades) is the inter- national thang. It's very nationalistic, with the performers identified by their countries more than by name. The voting is by country, with no country being able to vote for its own performer (for obvious reasons). Some of it is so predictable that my friends told me before it started that "Cyprus will always vote for Greece, and Greece will always vote for Cyprus," and it turned out exactly that way. Altogether, a weird but fun viewing experience, although I don't think there was even one performer I'd ever want to see again.
