Crystal - I would second those words. I love watching Idol - it is one of the best things ever on TV - and once past the stupid auditions it is really a family-oriented show (if Paula can keep her mouth clean) -- but you do wonder what they are up against on a weekly basis - I know it is a merry-go-round they can only get off by the voters. The problem is these singers do want the prize on the other side of the show - so I believe most of them think a few mths of the pressure is worth it. |
