American Idol- Ground Rules
American Idol- some general rules to ponder:
- If you are an adult male, I don't care how flaming you are, please pick a song more appropriate for your gender and age than one from Annie, a musical about a little singing orphan girl.
- Remember that you might be shown on national TV, please try to match, or at least look in a mirror. And ladies, watch those errant bra straps.
- An-nun-ci-ate. (You're not Snow).
- Almost no one can actually sing the national anthem in tune, especially in B flat (try G major).
- If you lose it on camera, remember that all of America, including future employers, might soon be watching you curse out Simon, Paula, or Randy. Especially if you really lose it
- If you're going to mention that your cousin in a Major Label Artist at least make sure you run your audition by her before shaming your family name on national TV with a totally nonsensical audition.
- If the judges are laughing at you Stop Singing. This is not happy laughter.
And this is just the season premiere......

I think American Idol's first few shows are a little hard for this amateur singer to take. I know that if I were there, they'd be laughing at me too. As long as I relegate my singing to the shower and the occasional karaoke excursion, I'm fine. But Simon, Paula and Randy would rip me a new one for even trying to sing, even though I'm not as Awesomely Bad as William Hung.
HTF do these people pass the pre-auditions? I met a friend of a friend and heard him sing. He was truly great. I asked him about Idol. He said he auditioned and didn't get passed on.
I'm convinced it's all about ratings and not music now. I dig Kelly Clarkson, but you can have the rest of them. Oh, Tamayra Gray was good too.
Ya know....I was looking at some of my old posts when I saw a comment you made back on an early, early post. Conclusion?
You still owe me your jdate profile ID.
