American Idol: Failure Advances

Haley Scarnato has been eliminated. America’s decision was apocryphal. Sanjaya was horrendous. Lakisha and Phil were terrible. Obviously, America ignored their performances. They voted their preconceptions. The result was abdominal.

Clearly, America is delusional. Blake possesses potential. However, anyone else as a star is laughable. Lakisha is morbidly obese. Jordin and Melinda are chunky. Phil is bland. If one of them win, their career will be momentary. They will not sell.

American Idol screams they are a singing competition. However, singing and selling records are incongruent. Americans bought the Notorious B.I.G.’s edge. They bought Britney Spears’ attractiveness. They bought Nirvana’s aura. Rueben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, and Taylor Hicks have won American Idol. Are they selling? Are they on Billboard’s Hot 100? Guess why? Americans do not buy fat, ugly, and old singers.

American Idol is a phenomenon. The program is must watch. With that stated, label the show appropriately. Americans are not selecting their next idol. They are merely judging an annual talent competition. Essentially, FOX is televising a county fair.
