Well it seems thst A.I got what they wanted.
And it also seemsvery few people seem to care.
At least my kids will not grow up thinking any of this is real.
All I know is if I held a contest like this.
I would be sitting in jail or a courtroom right now.
And yes Tamera64 it is the same Matthew Ward.
The only reason I will not ever let this go
is I will not accept this as the norm.
If this is accepted than everyone like me who doesn't have connections in the music biz might as well quit right now.
And I will not let them win.
I can't speak for anyone other than myself.
But my whole life I have dreamed of have a career in music.
And yes I have paid my dues.(Man have I paid my dues)
But like many other people out there.
Sometimes life gets in the way (kids,job,etc,etc)
So the chances get smaller and smaller
As time goes on.
That is why this and other songwriting contest
are so important.
It supposed to give the little guy (or Girl)
Some kind of a chance.
And then comes along the biggest T.V show in history.
Promising a chance for an unknown to have a hit record.
WOW.
But that is not what happened.
The ratings were down by 3 million this past season
Keep in mind there is a lot of money to be made
in the christian music field.
Just look back at season.
The winner (Jordin Sparks)is a well known in the christian field.
Also The third place winner(Melinda Doolittle)is also well known in the christian music field
As is Scott Krippayne.Diana Dewitt.Shedrick Mitchell
Kelli Trontell
And read Kelli Hill's AI Bio
Also Chris Sligh
Lakisha Jones
Phil Stacy
Sanjaya Malakar
Are also well known in the christian field.
Whats wrong with that (Nothing)
Except this whole contest (Singing & Songwriting)
Was supposed to be for amatuers.
And that over 100.000 people tried out fot the show last year
Also and don't get me wrong I think helping people is great.
But Why Idol gives back?
What better way to look good to the christian market
also think back to the final 2 shows.
Was it me or was there a very christian theme to it.
I wonder what the ratings would have been without it
Think about it......................................
