Fox TV's Rating Megatron has long been the show "American Idol"! Yet, As a New Idol Seasons will commence in January people are commenting how becoming The NEXT AMERICAN IDOL is less and less a guarantee that someone will truly become a breakout star with a true and deep future as a success performer.
I will admit to NOT watching the show on any consistent basis. Yet, You hear of people coming up with schemes to flood the telephone lines once they are opened for voting! This does seem to violate the basic principle of one person , one vote per each election.
You also often hear that the contestants with the most talent are often voted off TOO early thus meaning that the finalists are not truly the two best people who were involved in the competition. So, If the winners are not successful as performers after becoming The NEXT American Idol -well they, in all honesty just were not truly impressive.
This does make you wonder - Should the Powers That BE behind AI compensate for how the voting is?You can power protect American Idol by having the MOST Talented Individuals compete against the least talented competitors. Or, You can have a Type of "Electoral College"- Have a separate jury of Musical Experts to amileorate any " bizarre and inexplicable voting" by the phoning-in voters?
Now, None of this matters if we accept the concept that AI is what it is AND the votes are as they turn out to be and whoever gets the most vote in the Final Round is ipso facto THE AMERICAN IDOL! However, If it is to be a talent contest with the most Talented ONE becoming the NEXT American Idol, then a sense of tinkering effectively and deciding to make sure that the talent is best showcased is needed!
