colector: Re: [JournalWriting] OT Did America Get It Right American Idol

no, i didn't. i don't like "reality television" b/c i feel it couldn't be further from real life if it were on mars. unfortunately, i married a man who LOVES "reality tv", so now i am exposed to it. last season was the first one that i watched some of the shows.

BUT, i have see daughtry perform 4x in live performances -- and every time he sucked. i have an extensive musical background w/ my father's intention of a musical career for myself, so i understand music, ability, capability, entertainment value, pitch, and all that fun stuff that goes w/ it. when i saw daughtry perform, he was lacking all those things so i've always wondered why people thought he was worthy of winning. he does play to the crowd or perform to the audience, he performs for himself. there's in big difference between those two things. an entertainer can bridge the gap.

the other thing that a person has to consider, too, is who is voting? the age group? the education level? the talent level? the culture? all these things have to come in to play in a situation like this. for example, the section of society that would enjoy daughtry's music . . . would they be sitting at home watching american idol and voting?

thanks for your answer, though. i was curious b/c i hadn't heard or read of any scandal associated to their voting procedures or anything like that.
