I am really not a fan of the show 'American Idol'. I was just talking to a friend about it and he tried out in the competition. Like thousands of people try out and they narrow it down to 500 to try out in front of Paula, Simon, and Randy. When they narrow it down to 500 they include people who they know sing horribly, just so that they can be critiqued on national television. It just really bothers me that they are that cruel. While it is comical to watch the people sing bad and everything, it's still terrible to put them on tv. They know that the people are going to get made fun of. They could put people through into the 500 group who have decent voices instead of putting through people who are absolute jokes to get good tv ratings.
On the show some people who sing terribly really believe that they are good and they are given false hope when they get through the first elimination before tv. It's shameful the way that people find joy in others' misery. I feel bad for the people when they don't get picked because you can just see how hurt they really are.
Reality Tv and shows of the type was a good idea when it started; but it has gotten out of hand.
