I am not an American Idol fan. However, with prompting by all the publicity for the new season I thought I would give it one more chance and tuned in for the season premiere on Tuesday evening. I will have to say I was not disappointed – it was as bad as I remembered from watching the first show a few years ago – and I only lasted 45 minutes. My biggest objection to the show is how the producers “use” the hopes and dreams of average, everyday, untalented people to boost their ratings. It was so sad to watch the obvious heartbreak of these want-to-be-the-next-American Idols. I became so aggravated watching the “judges” laugh in the disappointed faces of these people who truly believed they had “a shot” to realize their dreams, I decided to write this column for my first post to Thursday Thirteen:
