American idol

American idol started last night with Keith Urban (singer, musician, songwriter), Jennifer Lopez (star, singer, dancer, movie star) and Harry Connick Jr. (the supp. actor in the movie of Sigourney Weaver's Copycat) As usual it started again with too many amateurs vying to win the hearts and mind of the Americans who are fanatic of this prestigious singing contest. What could be the prizes? Well before the prizes are brand new Ford Focus vehicle, fame and contract to be the new American idol including an act for singing stint or concert or whatever where the manager will lead the idol to stardom.

What could be the prizes this time? They should announce the prizes so that people will tune in and so that people will really VOTE for their favourites.

The only thing noticeable  here in AI is the announcement of how many viewers who watched the show. How they know the percentage? Do they have Nielsen's ratings or they have computers that rate the contestants number of votes? It could only be computerized in nature. There is that "economic in nature" that lead these shows to be featured on TV every year. Canadian idol show should also be revived. Problem is Canadians are so magnetized with what's happenings in the US rather than in their own country.

What else is evident? They have a  lamp that beams green light  inside a cubicle that they have to stay for few minutes before they have to enter the room where AI stage is located to the presence of the three judges, they were asked first about themselves as intro. before they have to sing with or without accompaniment of musical instrument. Notice their face? Few of them had sunburn. Wow!

Expect The Unexpected

So JESSICA SANCHEZ was about to be booted off the American Idol and suddenly the SAVE button was as QUICKflash like lightning. Is it? You mean to say that "automatically" have Jessica on Top One? That she is the American Idol? Jessica who hailed from Mexico or from Mexico as what they said and now being talked about that she is a Filipina! Right on!Almost majority of Filipinos/nas have Mexican or Spanish names. Indeed when the Spaniards colonized Philippines and had conquered the archipelago the Spanish friars baptized almost every natives in that island having to name them according to the plan and to the Book imposed to them by King Philip or the Spanish King. Is Mexico in the Philippines? I'm hallucinating right now that Philippines is so big that almost all the Eastern part of the world belongs to Philippines. It could be. Looking at the map Philippines is so small but maybe due to strategic plans made by the most powerful people on earth.It was deemed so small. It was small in comparison with bigger land that turned out to be sitting or iceberg. As I remember there are too many land bridges connecting the archipelago to the next island. The Philippines at the center and all the bridges connecting the 8 provinces are actually countries of its own. Anyway so what makes Jessica special? Here's the clue: you have Josh, Elese and Jessica on the right side of the stage.They are somewhat a distinct reflection of the three judges of the show and you have the "white caucasians" on the left side of the stage. Psychology baby! Simple logic!

What makes these contestants special? Aren't they already singers and crooners? Don't tell me you cannot recognize FACE?

The question of Jessica being a Mexican or American or Filipino but what? Is it about nationality? Is it about talent? Aren't they all talented? Heejun Han is talented too and some of the ten other finalist. But of course they are choosing the BEST of them all.

For God sake! Why don't you have Enrique Iglesias? Shania Twain or Rex Smith...oh I know you want a younger singer. You like somebody like Justin Bieber!!

You like somebody that is versatile. Someone who can sing beautiful songs with beautiful lyrics. A great performer who is great in different variety of music be of rock, country, ballad, blues, jazz, pop, and can sing and dance. Most of all have knowledge and skills using musical instrument. If you're a singer you should know how to use guitar, organ, piano, clarinet, trumpet, banjo,and drum or violin. That's how to excel in showbizness. Perfect utilization of almost everything within that range, and specialization. Otherwise there are better and greater and more than special than you are. And that's why some musicians are LEGENDary.

Now what? They want a PROTEGE!
