How many times have you watched Idol? Your condescension could mean you've never really watched and probably don't understand, like liberals who criticize Rush but have never really listened.

Idol should be approved by conservatives because it is about America at a very basic level...... personal responsibility, desire to suceed and excellence. There is a democratic element in that the eventual winner must truly excel and convince enough folks to provide roughly 18,000,000 votes within just over 2 hours.

It is about wackos who have no real talent but do have enough motivation to escape the bounds of opinion and put it all on the line just to see. It is about some genuinely talented people who strive for excellence and gain a fantastic opportunity to rub shoulders with the most talented artists, managers, and producers in the country.

Idol is just beginning. You might watch it with an eye towards the above...... watch those that fail. Some literally destroy themselves with agony over the rejection. Some become outrageously happy and exuberant at winning a particular round.

Idol is about being an American, taking a chance, seizing an opportunity and running with it. I suppose that among some stuffy types it is fashionable to put Idol down but to do so is to miss observing real America very close up.

Idol is perhaps the best rated show on TV. It has maintained the support of Ford Motor Co, Coca Cola Co and AT&T, all American giants who do not throw away money. They continue to sponsor Idol because it is pure Americana There is a live FRee Republic thread that follows the success and failure with wit and applause and scorn. (and pure fun)
