1 : a representation or symbol of an object of worship - True enough, for the past 8 seasons, in the course of the competition people will pick their choice. America will learn to love one of the finalists and vote for them like crazy. Follow the show every week to see their bets sing and try to degrade the competition. For weeks they will be a symbol of talent hoping to win the title.
2 a : a likeness of something b obsolete : pretender, impostor - I love this definition. Because as much as they start to be a lil bit famous through the season, you will also see some of them just being a copycat of a famous singer from the past. In the past 8 season, there are only few originals and usually they dont go home with the trophy. Why? Because some people would like to support people they've seen before in a better image.
3 : a form or appearance visible but without substance - This is so true. Well at least 75%. Lets name those that fall under this. Just kidding. Well I am talking about some of the people who made it to the finals because of their appearance and not because of talent. And sad to say, some got substance but not so good on the outside appearance thats why they dont win. I would name one, Melinda Doolittle.
4 : an object of extreme devotion - In connection to number 3. American Idol is a popularity contest. So what can we do. More people do go for looks or the Star quality than some raw talent. And it does take millions of votes in this contest to win this. Adam Lamber could have been a better choice to be an Idol but America's devotion for Mr. Goody Two Shoes Kris Allen whose name I always forget won.
but Season 9 is kind of the determining season if its still worth to be called the AMERICAN IDOL!
cause it might result to a search for the next American Idle.
1 : lacking worth or basis
We all thought the lost of a better singer in season 8 was a real shocker. But more news about this popular show is slowly pulling it down. The lost of one of the original judge is a big change. I think FOX already knew about it thats why they added Kara last season. Some like Paula, some dont. But admit it or not, she is one of the Top 4 Answers on Family Feud if asked, "Name a Personality when you hear the word, American Idol." Believe me most likely they wont be able to name Kara. Even tonight's first episode of Season 9, one of the contestants called Kara, Paula. That is really funny. But Idol has been prepared for her loss. Preparing Kara and adding Ellen. Ellen is my favorite host but as a judge in Idol, it just doesn't make sense. For me she was a person who finds talents around the world. For example, my fellow Filipino, Charice Pempengco and others.
Then I think Idol is doing some damage control of whats happening. Now making news that Warner Cable is taking out FOX. Making people demand for it to stay, getting American Idol an extra attention. Then after that before the competition starts, Simon announced that this will be his last Idol Season. Which creates more Buzz and more people to watch his "LAST SEASON." Or will it be.
With these tactics, American Idol is step by step losing its original reason of being a show, which is to find new raw American talent. It is now just becoming a "BLAH" reality show which has singers on it.
IDOL or IDLE?
We wont know... YET! I will have to admit that I have been a fan since Fantasia Barino and loved her season, Underwoods and Sparks also. The rest was a so-so. The last one was a... I dont even know how to say it.
In my opinion, this season will be a make it or break it season for this show. Will the hype of all the news increase interest or will it shun away its fans one by one.
We will see. I loved Boston's audition so far. The guest judge makes it a little more interesting. Victoria Beckham and more coming. I will surely watch this until It is just an "IDOL" with its definition Numero Tres (3); scroll up for that.
We will see.
