This week is the first week of American Idol Season 7. I have been following this show on and off. There is something about this show that makes people addicted to it. Part of it might be because the audience love watching and making fun of people that believe they are great singers and when they sing, they really suck! I mean, come on, you have to know how bad you are. Some are obviously bad. On the flip side, there are some really good ones on the show. I think this show is a good way for the record companies to get a great singer for a new album. Look at Kelly Clarkson, Jordan Sparks, and Jennifer Hudson, for example. They all have been very successful in their singing career. They all were exposed to the American people while they were on the show. And once they have their own albums, bam! Famous! These are some of the lucky ones. Some of the contestents have not been so lucky. Remember the teddy bear, Ruben? Not so successful, huh? Poor guy.
I got tickets from a good friend to see the American Idol concert when they were in Kansas City last year. I wouldn't have gone if it had not been free. I thought, "What the heck. It's a free entertainment and it's American Idol. How bad could it be?" It actually turned out pretty good. They all were very professional. And David Archuleta was super cute, just like on the show!
Back to Seanson 7, I was amazed at how many people came to the auditions for this season. Yesterday, they were showing the audition in Phoenix. There was one guy who was almost blind and came to the audition with his passion. He was a good singer. He could play the piano as well. I was blown away by this type of people. They inspire me. Maybe it's because I can relate their handicap to mine. They make me think of myself. This guy could barely see, yet had a big dream. And he was following his dream and making it happened. I've always been afraid of following my dreams and afraid of being rejected. I guess I will have to have a thicker skin and don't let little things bother me. If I'm rejected, so what? I'll just have to get up and try it again, right? And life goes on.
Tonight, they were showing the audition in Kansas City. It was in the summer. There were quite a few interesting people at the audition. One night that summer, I went out with a friend, Kamal. I'm sure I'll have an opportunity to officially introduce him to you all in a later episode. He's one of my hanging out peeps. Anyway, when we were drinking and having a good time, we met this guy who was from out of town. He looked different -- with a low mohawk on the head. He was cute actually. He told us he was in town for American Idol. Keep in mind we had had a couple of drinks already. So, we were like, "Oh cool! Did you make it to Hollywood?" He said, "Yes. And you all will see me there." You know how people at bars are. They just brag about themselves. We were joking with him for a while and then called it a night. When I was watching the tonight's episode, sure enough he was in the audition! He was there with his best friend. They actually did a little story about them. They both got to go to Hollywood. I was impressed by their talents. I remember him telling us he was there with a friend who was straight and that was why he had to come out by himself. I didn't really believe him at first. Maybe it was because it was at a bar and it was too good to be true? I guess once he becomes famous, I can add him to my list of celebrities I've encountered... along with Janet Jackson, Robin Williams, and Dennis Rodman!
