Third,you have the public thinking that they have a hand in crowning a champion,but thats only by default,since the choices are so bland and limited to begin with.
Geez,can you imagine if Idol had been around in the past?Forget about Willie Nelson,Frank Zappa,Beck,George Clinton.I bet they wouldnt even let Bob Dylan into the building to audition.

It was around...it was called 'star search' and resulted in such monumental talents as "Sinbad". Wow, cutting edge.
Don't give people what they want. Give them what they never dreamed possible-Willy Wonka.
