Thousands and thousands and thousands of wanna be’s have been sceened, auditioned, and now weeded down. Yet - depsite these huge incoming numbers, they have come up with only one and a half singers who can stay on pitch (Bo and Carrie) for more than half a song. Is vocal talent really that rare?
Meanwhile, celebrity singers that are widely believed to have no or little talent (Jessica Simpson, J-Lo) appear to be in key. Is this because they are so heavily produced, over-dubbed, etc. etc. that their true voice is (thankfully) not apparent?
My conclusion is that it must be extremely difficult to sound good using the American Idol format. Assuming that’s the case, which of the following “final ten” celbrities would achieve stardom if they were forced to be contestants on the show?
J-Lo, Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Janet Jackson, Melissa Etheridge, Barry Manilow, Babyface, Justin Timberlake, David Matthews, and Stevie Wonder
Who gets voted off first?
Who wins it all?
I would say David Mathews is first to go, Madonna wins it all.
