I am not sorry that I have been by-passed by the American Idol rage. It seems that I am really not missing very much.

No other "reality" program now showcases America's
fixation with fame and celebrity and wealth to the same extent.


Canadian Idol, of course, will be morally superior.

A lot of people agree that last year it was when Kelly Clarkson sang the Forties' songs that she displayed her talent at its best. This year they have her singing third-rate pop and it sounds like her voice is giving out. This year's runner-up Clay Aiken showed he has a terrific singing voice and it may have been just as well for him that he came in second.
The winner, Ruben Studdard, also has a good voice, but a limited range, which really showed in recent weeks. (The poor guy weighs in around 400 pounds and was obviously suffering under the hot studio lights.) The third-place singer, Kimberley Locke, is bright, classy, and sings like an angel.
All these kids have the talent to sing real music, not the drivel that you hear on the airwaves today. The producers in the music industry are missing a bet. There's a large segment of America that wants to hear good old-fashioned singing, which these kids can do and is why they did as well as they did with the audience.
