There have always been performers who don't write their own songs the only difference now is we get to see the selection process (all be it done in a more showbiz way). The only effect it might be having is the same as any reality tv show in as much as some young people today want instant fame without any of the hard work and see these shows as their chance to go to the Ivy and live the lifestyle that really doesn't exsist. It very rarely works out for these people.\n\nI think there will always be room for real talent and it will always be recognised (whether you write your own stuff or just perform other people's songs). These programmes are just a flash in the pan in terms of how the music business operates. They're this generation's must see telly, that's all. Real talent will always survive.

You had a bad day...by Daniel Powter.\n\nIdol originated in the UK, called Pop Idol, and Simon is from UK so probably had some choice in song selection.  I don't  believe you get get it here as a single but probably online...I think...

Unfortunately people want to read about celebrity/pseudo celebrity news rather than something that makes them uncomfortable.  Probably why folks will vote for the latest 'Idol' show but not in an election.\n\nMore opium for the masses I guess.

Because this competition is fixed. There's no reason that Chris should have gone home when Katherine forgot her lyrics. How the hell else could something like that happen unless the show is fixed? I agree, Chris Daughtry was my favourite too. I was hoping it would be between him and Taylor Hicks. I was SURE that either Elliot Yamin, or Katherine McPhee was going to go home last night. Now that Chris is gone I'm not sure I even want to watch it anymore. He was set up. \n\nC'mon think about it. The show before last was an obvious example of how corrupt this competition is...when Paula CRIED for Elliot, and yet Katherine was DOGGED by all 3 judges when she did REALLY WELL that night, and didn't get recognition till the next day AFTER votes were made. That's just ludicrous! I don't think I'll be watching anymore seasons of this show in the future.

That was a real dead spot in music (not that it's gotten much better since). Oasis and Third Eye Blind were a couple of the better bands to enjoy popularity during that period.

American Idol or Americas got Talent they are going to many country's today and maybe you could sing to them and people could see how good you are live,plus i was watching it one day and there was a 12 year old girl on there singing she was very good and made it to the second round.

Their are alot of bands from europe that get alot of coverage and sell albumns, while over here they have a very small following or have only had one hit single. That is because of cultural diferrences. Right now the majority of people in North America want synthetic pop, generic rock bands, rap and r&b. In North America people pay more attention to what is marketed for them to listen to, while people in Europe look at bands like Nightwish and bands with a great deal of musical talent. If you look at the simple puritanical and ethnic begginings of north american culture and business and the deeper more musicaly influential european culture with mozart, bach, beetoven and even more modern like The Rolling Stones and The Beatles you see why europe goes with better music and america goes with the most generic. Also in the past 25 years the USA has been closing itself off to the rest of the world, and controlling the stimuli through mass marketing to make the people as numb as possible. The current music trend in the USA is evidence of this.

Hi I am a Czech. What time did you go there? If it was recently they have a new "Czech Idol" Aneta Langerova, what did she look like, what did she sing about? Can you remember anything? Tune...\nOr maybe Lucie Bila, Ilona Csakova, Helena Vondrackova, Iveta Bartosova...give me more clues!

Trying go to amazon.com they have alot of hard to find cds there.  Like for instance I was looking for Eden's Crush cd (you know the old pop star group way before we knew anything about American Idol) and they had it there and I had been searching everywhere for that cd. If that fails try Ebay

I love American Idol (even though I'm from the older generation - 52) and have watched it since the firt American Idol.  I love watching the people who think they can sing, but can't, but have to give them kudos for having the guts to get up in front of the judges and television, with millions of people watching and take a beating like they do.  But I love Idol most for the seriously talented young people that you see once in a while that get the chance to be successful in music when you see that they do have the talent and ambition but left on their own, they would have much less chance of "being discovered".  I think the show is great for helping serious artists looking for a break.
