American Idol

I'm gonna say this once.
To all the news shows, tabloid programs, radio hosts, and everyone else who discusses this, listen to me.
There is no deep sociological reason why people are willing to humiliate themselves on TV by trying out for idol. Yes some of them are delusional and think they are great, but they are also included in this statement.
Ready for the big reason?
They want to be on TV. They think that being on TV will make them famous.
That's it.
No duh.
The discussion ends now.
