Why Do Friends Let Friends Embarrass Themselves On American Idol? by Trent Lampe |
| |
|
After seeing some atrocious performances on American Idol, we are
always left wondering whether we would ever let our own friends
embarrass themselves on this show and in this manner. How is it
that people allow their friends to be victims of American Idol?
If a friend is clearly tone-deaf but wants to audition for
American Idol, friends or family members should intervene and not
let this non-talented pal audition for the show. It is just not
right to allow them to go on TV and embarrass themselves by
butchering a classic song. |

The early rounds of American Idol, are clearly geared more
towards amusement than actual talent. Generally, the performances
of the great musicians that get their tickets punched to
Hollywood are not shown. What we do see however, are the
shameless contestants who don't have an ounce of talent ---
contestants like William Hung. |
