American Idol

They got rid of one of the divas. I can't remember her name, but I remember that she was just another diva, another diva who was praised by all three judges. Those who were dissed by the Simon, Paula and the Randy made it to the top four, now whys that? The first two American Idols contests was based on talent and improvement, but what viewers saw was also individuality. This time, the third contest did not have divas with their own individual personality. They were merely stereotypes. All of them sounded like a mixture of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and any black afro-american diva you can name.

Another conclusion that I can make is that Americans are just fed-up with Simon, Paula and Randy. Don't forget that the very people who are voting probably did have family and friends who participated in the preliminary. People who participated in the preliminary and didn't make the cut and of course, probably held grudges against all three judges. Everyone is fed-up with all three judges because their perception has been deluded by social stereotypes in hollywood -how ironic. The thing is, American Idol was never modelled after stereotypes. True, it is about getting the amateurs and making a rags to riches story infront of the media. But its also about getting quirks like Clay Aiken, who, regardless of his voice, would still have been a loser if not for his makeover. The masses will never vote the perfect, they will vote the imperfect simply because the people participating are part and parcel of 'the masses'. If the votes were given to the perfect, we might as well call it American Idol - the Beauty Pageant.

So not the stark reality. We have the top three participants who are very different individuals. A young fair child with red hair, a hawaiin, a black. They may not be what the judges want, but they are those who will be remembered because they look different. How well they sing may not be a crucial factor any longer. Ladies and gentlemen, American Idol is evolving. It evolved after the Uncut, Uncensored version was shown a few weeks ago. The William Hungs were glorified and that brought the failure of American Idol as it intended to be.

On professional DJs

Whenever someone tells you they had been a professional DJ, they would expect you to think of them as hip and happening. But the truth always hurts doesn't it? Most DJs have the voice, but not the face to match it, and thats why they are called Disc Jockeys. Half the time, you don't see their faces, you only hear their voices - the more pleasant thing of the two. The next time someone comes up to you to tell you they are a disc jockey, compliment their voice and highlight to them the irony of it all.
