American Idol

The best thing about this show is that it delivers the bad news that so many people seem to avoid hearing. They either don't get it from their loved ones (who may temper their criticism out of respect) or choose to spin any comments too positively. It's the much-needed reality check that our risk-adverse, "you hurt my feelings!," never-admonish-me culture has lacked for so long. I'm sure much of the TV audience enjoys the good singers and performers. I know I do, even if I think the performances are too heavily weighted towards rhythm & blues and pop music.

But I'm damn sure they enjoy Simon's remarks more.

Almost as much as they enjoy the pissy, disassociated-with-reality remarks the rejected wanna-be vocalists spit out after they experience harsh criticism.

im not being mean or anything .. but i think that the people who make the show are somewhat PREDIDOUS to jasmine .. its like you guys want to get rid of her because she's asian .. i think she has all rite just like all of the other contestents .. and also if she goes .. i think its because you guys made her nervous and two nights (or three) in a row you let her go first .. this monday and tuesday .. and also .. she doesnt get good judement .. and im happy that randy supports his own kind . put how about other people too .. i can tell he really doesnt like jasmine or asians at all .. so i expect jasmine to stay and fantasia to go .. i hope you guys listen to me .. and give asians there time to be famous too .. thank you for your time
