American Idol is embarrasingly bad. It's sort of the WWF of the arts world and all of you who love it should aim a little higher.
What does it matter? Why do you act as though everytime we mention that someone is of the same persuasion you act as though the guantlet has been thrown down. Your brand of PC is what is wrong with America. It is simply part of the culture in Utah and interesting to those of us who belong to it.
Were you one of the people that thought you could sing but, tried out for the show only to find out your abilities aren't what you thought they were?
I don't know why else you'd say its "embarrasingly bad". Obviously you are in the minority since its the highest rated show on television year after year and its put out the occasional huge recording artists.
Like it or not Bob, the 'reality' is the shows NOT "embarrasingly bad". Though it's not my favorite, its still a great show.
Now the WWF?(Which I think is now WWE or something) That's another story.
