Bohemian Rhapsody (The NEW VERSION)
I am a huge American Idol fan! Actually I don’t care who wins, it’s the auditions that I love!!! It’s by far the best part ot the whole series. There is some really great talent out there but there is also a lot of tone deaf people out there as well!
I don’t know about you all, but when someone is laughing or look like they are pain while I am singing, that’s my cue to quit and get the hell out of there!! I am not going to question why I didn’t get accepted onto the next round, or ask for another chance, I would save whatever face I have left and get my sorry ass out of sight!! But this is the joy of watching the show! It’s great when you get to watch some really good singers (BONUS) but make way for the next ‘laugh your gut out’ performance. These are the performers that really make the show and make me want to continue watching it.
American Idol is a huge source of modern culture and entertainment, as listed by Paul as one of the 20 reasons why Mass Media is important. American Idol is new and accepted in this day and age. Nothing like this type of show was around when I was going group (80’s). There were shows with Ed Sulivan as the host of “Rising Stars” (I think that was what it was called) and we would all sit around as a family and watch it. If my daughter was older I would let her sit up and watch American Idol with us.
American Idol lets us appreciate that there are people out there that are really great performers who get their moment in the spotlight while still respecting those who are brave enough to even go on screen with millions of people watching them who sing as bad as ‘Nellie Olson’ on Little House on the Prairie. It’s amazing how the networks make money off of bad talent and the misfortune of others (like the one’s who don’t make it)!
The following clip is ‘Red’, one of the not-so-great singers who sings Bohemian Rhapsody for the American Idol judges. I give him an ‘A’ for effort!! I’m sure I couldn’t do much better. Enjoy.

I never really got into American Idol. I always thought it was horrible and felt sorry for all these people because the judges were cruel and there dreams were getting crushed. I thought all of this until i saw the auditions. I was sitting around with my new roommate last week and she loves American Idol so i decided to finally watch it. And i loved it. I mean i feel sorry for some of the people who go up on stage and get crushed. but i mean at least they tried and it is funny. I am sure they will always love the fact that they got onto stage. I also love watching the people get excited that they are making it to the next stage. I don’t know if i will be able to watch it after the auditions because it won’t be nearly as amusing.
I also had watched the auditions for “so you think you can dance” they are even funnier. I only like watching the auditions because the people are either amazing or just plain crazy. Some of them i love because they talk back.
I LOVE American Idol. I watch it every time it is on. I love the beginning parts of the show when people try out. It makes me angry when people like Rosie O’Donnell make harsh remarks at the judges for being to mean to the contestants. This is the shows like 100 season and these people know exactly what they are getting themselves into going onto the show. I have absolutly no sympathy for them and it makes me angry when people sue or take actions at shows like this when they know perfectly well how it is (through the media, it is publicized everywhere!).
The media plays a huge role in shows like this because they entice people and very well may sway people into thinking a certain way, but nonetheless, American Idol is very well known and a fabulous show!
I actually think that if America wants to look like a better country they should take this show off the air. Haven’t you ever watched this show and just thought “Wow, Americans are f#@$ed up.” I dont actually watch the show that often, but I do admit sometimes catching the first couple episodes to see the people that make fools of themselves. I was watching last week and the first thing that I thought was that some of these people must actually have mental problems if they think there good. Here’s a question, how many people do you think go home and kill themselves after being crushed on tv?
Thanks for the comments!
I used to like Rosie O’donnell, but I DON’T ANYMORE! She can be quite the B#$@%!! She seems so judgemental lately, has she not looked at herself or listen to what she says, because she’s on THE VIEW, she’s holier than thou!? Don’t think so.
I continue to watch and love the show, I give all the contestants credit for just going on the show, especially facing Simon (I love Simon, he just say’s what everyone else in their homes watching the show are saying)
I’m sure there might be some contestants who actually might consider suicide, it would be interesting research to actually find out the negative affects the show has on it’s contestants. (Interesting question!)
Happy Blogging!
