Do TV talent competitions make anyone else want to vomit blood? Because that sure as hell happens to me every time I watch them. Mostly because there's usually about one person with any actual talent,* and they usually don't win because the only people who give enough of a damn to vote are the teenage girls who just vote for who they think is cute.
Actually, it sort of amazes me that there are people who vote on this crap regularly. It seems like they just want to add even more bull to the oversaturated pop music market. More of the same generic crap. Whoopy-pissin'-doo. I'm sure there are people who feel that compulsion, but I can't imagine what kind of issues it would require.
I do sort of like the idea of a whole bunch of idiots competing for who can sell-out the most. They even make the poor bastards do it before they even win. And they go along with it, because they're so goddamn desperate for attention. Lord help us.
*There is currently a guy on American Idol who is an insanely good singer, and plays the bass like a friggin' pro. It's pretty damn embarassing, because he just has so much more talent than everyone else on the entire show.
