Artie's excited for Idol's Premiere Tonight!
Tonight's the big Idol Premiere and I couldn't be more stoked to get this season under way! I also wanted to respond real quick to a couple of things that Clyde said in his last post...
I'm glad to hear that those who have already been deemed "celebrities" will be taking a backseat to those seeking to be discovered this year. I hope the talent pool is indeed a bit deeper than it was last season. And, as soon as we get through the sticky, yet highly entertaining, business of thinning the herd, I expect to see some seriously great performances.
All of these cats who are trying out, like the folks in the videos posted here, need to realize that... sure, attitude and heart are very important things to have in this competition. But, to the contrary of what our friend Salotta said, not everyone "has a chance". At least not in the sense that the phrase was intended...
Everyone has a chance to try out, yes. However, not everyone has a chance at making it all the way to the top. Those who lack talent have very little chance at the brass ring. And that's what the competition is about: weeding out those who think they do have a chance at the big prize.
Of course, there's an exception to every rule, and our pony-hawked pal from last season may be the exception. And sadly, despite being the most interesting thing about last season, he was NOT the most talented. But I digress.
Growing an emotional connection to these kids will add another dimension to our little competition, and should spice things up a tad.
That all being said... let's get this thang goin', y'all!!
WOO!!
