Why I hate the new 'American Idol'

I'm beginning to realize that I watch 'American Idol' for the very same reasons I watch the Olympics. It's not about who wins. It's about the variety of talent that comes to showcase their gift to not only a nation, but the entire world.

It's so amazing and beautiful to me when someone has been working their whole life to hone a talent and it all breaks down to one moment. There in front of millions of viewers, they summon the courage to show everyone.

Then they screw it up and their dreams die a horrible death. You can see the moment their heart breaks. You can sniff the odor of humiliation so rank, it's almost sexual. That's right. Sniff it. It's just like the funk comin' out of 3 day old jeans.

If you've ever been put in a garbage bag full of dirty diapers and thrown in the back of a garbage truck, you know what I mean.

It's a kind of embarrassment they'll be explaining to therapists for years. Don't even think about feeling sorry for them. That's what they get for trying to chase their dreams.
