what absolutely kills me is the movie "american dreamz" (with a z!!111!!!) coming out this summer. they picked THE best "reality" show to make fun of.
i've never liked american idol. if you want to be a singer, work for it. don't audition for a TV show and hope a stuffy brit, a washed up pop star, and the large funny man to enjoy you.
the concept isn't very "real". especially since "america" votes on who they want to win, and apparently, who gets the most votes wins. if every singer had to compete for the most votes to win, we wouldn't have trash on the radio like we do now. we also wouldn't have very many bands in existence since people don't ever agree on musical stylings.
i think enjoying music is a very personal, emotional, and deep thing that this show (and rock stars over the previous decades) have bastardized.
