Endangered Species: American Idol.

*Cue the American Idol music* And in comes the lovable and at the same time pathetic Ryan Seacrest. He looks at the crowd, at the countless of wide-opened eyes staring at him; their sassy expressions mixed with a look of agony. He then says, "This will be the last American Idol show; no more. Ya basta, ya basta." Undoubtedly the crowd is silent, they are lost; most of them think this statement was just a joke. "No, seriously people...it's over." The world will end for these people. So American Idol reached yet again its sad conclusion, and like always not all of the teenyboppers are rejoicing their favorite Idol won. Some take it well, "oh well, he's a winner in my book." Others don't take it so good, though: "What?! Lost to that piece of S%*$?" Yeah, a lot of people are sad after watching the finale. But do other people really care who wins? I don't really think so.

Are the American Idols really musicians? Not at all. They're robots with nice voices, that sing safe songs about typical things like love, hate, relationships, boys/girls, breakups, unfairness, and so on... But that's really it. They can sing, sure I'll give them that, but there is no bone in their body that reads, "musician". They're all programmed by big-business men that, above all, care only about their capital. They don't care if the musician wants to write their own songs, or that they have a vision. The man in charge placed you in that situation, you better follow orders...Kris Allen, or else you're back where you began: nowhere.

Don't trouble yourselves thinking about the winners of American Idol, the preposterous show that has everyone glued to their seats. They all get their, "15 minutes of fame" and then they burn out, and sink into depression; one of them might get more minutes of fame, the only downside is that they will probably be dead. Shows like these only inspire people (like me) to say negative things about it. This show has nothing good to offer. "Bikini Girl" yeah good one...Fox. That was weird, as if we didn't know that Bikini girl wasn't a spontaneous appearance. The only thing that has me watching A.I is the auditions. Those people with the horrendous voices thinking they're gonna be somebody are good to laugh at. People have no shame, what a shame.

Will this be the last American Idol? Nope. Will this be the last time I write about it? Nope. Will next year bring a "true" musician to the show? Get real, my dear fried. American Idol will be back someday, with more pathetic stories of tragic losses just to get far into competition; with more Bikini girls, maybe this time she'll wear a more revealing piece, and have a nice body. The next show will come along with the usual package: pretentious singers that only satisfy teen girls, singers with no real purpose that desperately seek fame, and that have no shame.

If you want to be a famous musician work at it, don't take shortcuts like American Idol. Try to write real music and talk about something important; be bold, be different. And I don't mean black nails, eyeliner different (that's even more feeble). I mean be a different person, with new ideas, and make tons of fucking mistakes.

One last thing. This show is called American Idol, so why is a British man judging the contestants??
