or let them go on and be humiliated? i know everyone wants to be famous, but WOW there are better ways than embarassing yourself on national TV. And WHY????? oh why didn't their friends and family tell them - look dude/girl you know i love ya, but you just plain can't sing. If it were me i'd rather be a bit put out a bit at having someone i love warn me rather than be humiliated on TV. Some of the people tonight were beyond bad. Why did the people they know allow them to go out and be crucified like that? It boggles my mind. Would you let someone you know go through that? And why or why not?
If you don't watch the show or don't like it - that's fine but don't waste my time and yours by giving a NON answer please.

I love the show, and tonight, yeah, there were some really bad ones...however, have you not wondered yet, that some of these horrible auditions they show, are not really set up???
I could not believe Simon or the producers getting away with telling a kid on TV that he looks like a monkey, huh? I am positive the kid said it was okay...that way, the show get some notoriety, and the kid gets some time on national TV...just like on Jerry Springer, come on, some of these folks...I believe some of it is just put like that on purpose, otherwise they'd get their pants sued off!!!

I'm with you there. I'd try to be as nice as possible, but I would rather not see them humiliated by panel of conforming judges and displayed in front of thousands for sheer "We're laughing at you" humor. Some of these people actually have high hopes and get their dream trampled on.
These judges are looking for one kind of style. The style that can sell the most albums. Do you think groups and singers like Garth Brooks or My Chemical Romance would have made the cut on American Idol?
I'd encourage my friend to practice but not go on the show. If he/she is as really good as they think they are, they'll find some local recognition. Maybe they could even hit it big. If they aren't great....well, they at least be happy with themselves and not regret going on such a degrading show (at least for the ones that can't sing).
But for all those sucky people that go anyway....their horrible voice makes for some interesting entertainment.

I have my own blog about American Idol and I can totally relate to what your saying. Yes, by all means if I knew a loved one wanted to audition and they couldn't carry a tune in a bucket I would be nice and to the point about it, but I wouldn't encourage him/her to just "go for it". Some of these people are totally dense and clueless, but a few are fake and are just doing it to get a thier 15 minutes of fame. It's like watching a trainwreck, it's sad to see but you can't help but watch...and that's reality. The truth hurts, but being made a complete goober on national television and embarrasing your hometown will stay with ya forever, so honesty is the best policy. Just my 10 cents.

First of all, you should not let him go through such a humiliation. A nice way to get them to realize they sing badly is saying to him to take singing lessons (say everyone who has won took singing lessons before the contest). That way that person will realize he sings bad before entering the contest.

Absolutley I would tell them. But that doesn't mean they will listen. Look at that woman that came on and her husband told her not to. She was so stubborn she really thought she had something and he wasn't being supportive. She was wrong and he was right.
How can these fools not know they are tone deaf. They have to be in it just to say they were on TV.

Yes. I tell everyone if they are good or not. Why let them get out there and make a fool out of themselves. Of course, some people don't listen.

I would definitely tell the truth and save them from the humiliation.
