American Idol a (non) reality show!
Many people, for what ever reason ,have been tuning in religiously to FOX 's"reality show" American Idol. I think many people tune in because the contestants may remind them of a friend, a family member, or themselves. In either case, America wants to watch regular people get their chance at stardom. These contestant are just regular people........ who just so happen to sell their souls to a major production company just for the mere chance of stardom. After the contracts are signed, they are no longer what they once were and they are forced from then on to conduct themselves in the way the creator of the show wants them to. The contestants become mere pawns in big businesses elaborate scheme to make money while exploiting individuals who just desperately want to be famous.

I completely agree! It is even easier to see this truth when you think about the aftermath of the show. How many "winners" have actually made it in the music world? It seems to me that the people who try out for AI are those that cannot get a gig on their own. The real talent is in the groups/individuals that make it on their own doing; and America obviously agrees with this becasue they are the ones that are the true success stories. The majority of viewers tune into the show for the drama and community.
