Idol Notes

America Idol is almost done with its early episodes where they get rid of the worst singers. The ratings are high, but it's my least favorite part of the show. I actually watch to hear good singing, plus I feel sorry for all the candidates who finally have to learn they stink.

Yet, in some ways, the first section of the show is the most mercifcul. Those who don't make it to the next stage learn what they need to know. Almost all who get to go to Hollywood won't make it, but their hopes are being raised only to be crushed.
