All too frequently though, the professionals tend toward writing rather jaded, cynical critiques. I don't have a problem with a somewhat gushy fan review if it's written well. After all, it's only one individual's opinion - just like the pro review.

But, geesh, my interest in musical history is a little vague, or I can't play an instrument, or I really don't know much about song arranging, or I'm just a "normal" person with no backstory. I have a good voice but limited range, or I'm not real articulate and get tongue-tied easily. AI is no longer (nor has it really ever been) about finding a new, fresh, sing in the shower, untested singer. I would think unless you have all the tools or unless you are just tremendously bad and are willing to "bare" all for your 5 minutes of fame, then AI may not be the course for you. I am sure that there are a lot of auditioners that are finally coming to terms with the reality of AI and are giving it a pass. Smart move, that!

I think the reason I keep watching American Idol, the show, with all its faults, is because there is something magical about watching talented deserving young people achieve their dreams. I only started following Idol on the internet because of my over-investment in the future of David Cook , who I admire greatly as an artist and a person. I love seeing him blossom as a star. However, the articles and commentary here just show how much the idols and the idol brand are now starting to infiltrate the popular music landscape. It makes the fanwars seem utterly rediculous, given that each Idol's success just helps legitimize the Idol brand. Although I'm not a big fan of Archie or Jordin, I am very proud of the success they are achieving and am rooting for them. Kellie C, Jennifer H, Carrie, Chris D, Kellie Pickler, Bucky Covington, Jordin, Archie and DC are in my opinion at least moderate to super successful recording artists with many more Idols still having successful if more niche musical or entertainment careers. While I will always have my all time faves (Carrie, Melinda, Cook and Allison), I hope the other Idols also achieve all they hope for. This whole thread has me a little verklempt.

Also he was wearing on his neck the pass he had from Red, White and Boom back in 2003. What a trip! Bet he never imagined he would be the headliner one day back then! Sniff.
