Re: Negreanu has to lighten up about American Idol.
The fact is, Idol starts each season with several talentless poor souls and displays them for America to laugh at.
Why do they show us the early audition tapes of the people who can't carry a tune or keep a beat?
The cruel critiques by Simon are the reason many people tune in.
The show itself is mean spirited. It's silly to get upset when other mean spirited people try to ruin the show by voting for Sanjaya.
There are people who watch for the beautiful girls blessed with great voices.
There are people who watch to see Simon skewer the no-talents.
And there are people who watch for the trains wrecks, like William Hung and Sanjaya.
The fact that I've never watched a single minute of "American Idol", and all I know about the show is what I've seen and heard through other media, proves they must be doing something right.
