More Amaldo Disdain For “American Idol”
By ariel in Uncategorized, Amaldo.Com, American Idol, reality TV on May 2 2007
“American Idol” is let’s just say, not the best TV on earth. In fact, to my opinion “American Idol” and its followers are akin to the high school bully that get his laughs from humiliating a nerdish kid who just happens to walk by. In short, it relies on exploiting people at their volition and expense to draw viewers.
I remember a “South Park” episode which spoke to the cloud of smug shrouding Hollywood, and threatening to take over the country. This cloud of smug is what I think about whenever I see these shows’ judges. There are always three of them, and they are always of “there is no one but me in the world” state of mind.
The effect of the show is so big, That this morning 2 major Bostonian classic rock radio stations went all in on the subject, while seriously discussing John Bon Jovi’s upcoming performance on tonight’s show as if it was a Led Zeppelin reunion. So, what am I crying and complaining about here? Nothing, I just don’t like the show and I don’t like Bon Jovi…
Sincerely,
Me
