Why I won’t be famous

Well, I certainly won’t have a career in the film or music industry, but that wouldn’t have stopped me from living vicariously through other, more talented people.

My friend Bibis, who is a first-rate trained singer and performer, did not make the cut for American Idol. A part of me didn’t actually see it happening for her to make the TV show because that just doesn’t happen to real people in my mind. But the truth is she’s actually really good. She went to some art academy and trained to sing and do all that musical crap (note: crap does not indicate an opinion, only that I am bitter because I am not musical).

It’s been a couple of years since I actually watched the show, but from what I remember, the people who make it are nothing too special except for a few (usually one of them being the future winner). But maybe things have changed. Maybe enough people like Bibis, people with acutal talent, are trying out for the show. Maybe the bar is higher now. It must be. Because the last time I watched, I saw Fantasia win against that girl who looked like she trained with a car radio and the acoustics in her shower.

She definitely doesn’t do pop…. maybe that was the problem.
