My thoughts on Idol

Okay I just had to write about this, because it has been bothering me for too many weeks now. What is people's obsession with Adam? I understand that he is innovative and definitely very creative when it comes to his musical arrangements. There have been times when I have really enjoyed the SONG he chose, or the way he arranged it. But I can't for the life of me figure out why people like his VOICE?

I hear the judges week after week talk about what a magnificent voice he has or how wonderful his vocals are. And I can't help but wonder- Are they listening to the same person I am? I mean, the guy's falsetto sounds like a cat being hit against a wall. It is wildly out of control. I don't believe I have ever heard something so ear piercing be so popular. Has everyone gone mad?

A couple weeks back I found out before Idol he had been on Broadway, which makes total sense to me. He definitely has a flair for the drama, and some serious stage presence. I can see him going far with that. But does he have the talent for commercial success? Highly unlikely.

So I urge fans out there to please vote for the person they see actually being able to sell albums and be successful in the business. Not the person who dresses in Halloween costumes and butchers Johnny Cash classics.
