    I occasionally sit thru the last few minutes if it's on before House. I have to say, I really do enjoy hearing a good singer at work. But I can't muster up any reason to sit thru the rest of the crap the show goes thru.

    Like, I heard Michelle Branch one day, liked her voice, bought her CD. I have no desire to spend 22 hours listening to every audition and loser who failed in order for her to get a shot at an album. :shrug:

    Therein lies the whole problem with the recording industry nowadays. You don't have to be able to play a musical instrument, write lyrics and music, or even sing well. If you can dance, have a cute belly button, and can act stupid, they'll make you a star.

    Take Britney Spears for example.

    So, it goes to show that even people who can't dance and look like whores 99% of the time can be a star.

    Every time someone in my office asks "So, are you going to watch American Idol tonight?", I want to chew on a power cable somewhere. :ualbert:
