American Idol

The article written by Geraldo Russo

My dad loves to watch American Idol. He says it is awesome because you are having the chance to watch someone make his or her dreams come true. I had never really thought about it in that sense before, but when he said that, I understood what he meant. American Idol is such a great concept because it gives everyday people the chance to pursue their dreams. We have satellite TV from www.expertsatellite.com, and twice a week we tune in to see the performances and the resulting eliminations. This is the first season that I have voted for a contestant although we have been fans of the show for years. There is one guy this year who I think is simply amazing. It is crazy to think that without American Idol, tremendously talented individuals would have possibly never had the chance to pursue a career in the music industry. It is possible that somewhere a waiter or a mechanic is going to make millions selling records because of American Idol. It is awesome that there is an avenue for people to pursue their dreams. Seeing the performers every week is like watching someone live out what they have always wanted to do.
