American Idol

I don't usually watch the American Idol show, but last night I saw some of it. They were in Minnesota so lots of people did Prince songs, although not very well. The thing I don't get about the people who show up at the auditions is how they can be so unaware of themselves in terms of their singing. I can't sing at all and I wouldn't pretend otherwise, but some of the people who show up are absolutely terrible. Yet when they get some honest feedback, some of them act like it's a big shock. Of course, the show relies on these kinds of people in the early stages to keep it interesting. That's obvious since they spend so much time on the characters who don't make it.
