American Idol Ruins Your Life After All These Years

Reality TV shows has indeed made domination in every major TV screen since the beginning of the 21^st century, and nobody can ever deny how far it had come, as well as its popularity among various demographics. There are a lot of reality TV shows today and it looks like mostly are coming from reality dancing or singing based competition. Among the earlier regarded TV show is the American Idol. It’s now on its 12^th season and has been on the mainstream for pretty much 12 years already. During its earlier years, it was among the favorite show on primetime television but as it ascends year after year, it looks like a lot of fans have snapped out of the addiction!

American Idol, by simply looking through the name it somehow inspires people to do everything just to be America’s ultimate singing idol. But now it should have been named as American Idle! It’s a shame why it got huge and massive ratings for the past couple of years! American TV will never give out PBS or any other decent cable channel a fight in the class game. We all know well that except for The Simpsons there are some other precious shows (a few of them) that have any semblance of intellect.

After a couple of years of following through each AI season, I have noticed myself getting madder and madder with every season finale announcement of the winner!

What’s really and absolutely apoplectic here is how the program has gone more than being a mere talent show and is now grooming itself up as a "tastemaker". A few years back, there was this show called Ted Mack's Amateur Hour. It’s on a radio and then moved on to the TV streams, which lasted for years. In it are a number of people from all across the borders of the region who would sing, whistle, dance or even play Sing Me Something app. People then will make their votes and there would be a winner. The winners usually come back to their little town they’re raised at and never heard from them again. Some, however, really became professionals. Pat Boone would be the best example for this. Wow, even then really sucky "talents" became big stars.

Travelling back to the 70s, a show called Gong Show. Again, people would simply come in and make the most shocking things and win. The "judges" (typically celebs who are hacked) would "gong" the participant off the show. You’d watch to see the really awful acts.

American Idol is pretty much a mix of both. So, it's basically not an original idea but this is so much worse than them. You see, the winners will then be signed to Simon Cowell's managing deal and sing the songs that Simon Cowell will set on his own label. What’s really pissing off is that people (are astoundingly and surprisingly buy the record labels!  Talk about idiosyncrasy! The irony of people who got fooled by such an amateur show; it ruins one’s life and it’s full of quackery!

The program is full of crap from the bad concept to the sloppy judges down to the unfortunate AI contestants and winners fate! This is such a huge robbery of your time if you watch it! Don’t even dare pick up that remote and switch the channel to AI!
