I remember very specifically someone sang "If I Was A Boy". He had a lovely voice, and it was clear to anyone with half a brain cell that the song was very important to him personally. The whole time he sang, the judges were just talking to each other about how weird it was and didn't even listen to his performance. It was heartbreaking to watch this guy open up to the whole nation only for fucking J Lo to ignore/dismiss him and then send him away for "a distracting song choice". It fully cemented my dislike for a show I loved as a kid.

Judges: "What's your story?" Well, uh, when I was in fourth grade, I got accused of stealing some kid's lunch money. They held a class trial and everything. No one believed me when I said I didn't do it, I couldn't stop crying. The only one who came to my defense, surprisingly, was the kid whose money was stolen. He pointed out that they couldn't find me guilty without hard evidence. He learned that from watching his dad, who was a really famous defense attorney. But then just a few years ago I saw my old friend's name in the news, and he'd become a really ruthless prosecutor! I tried to get back in touch with him, but he would never answer my letters or my calls or my emails, so I thought maybe if I became the next American Idol then he'd have to acknowledge me.

Up until recently the only backstory they would show would be in the final episode with just the 3 remaining finalists and very rarely would the backstories be sensationalized in a harrowing or inspirational way. It's just about baking, and why sensationalize baking? It's just cake.

i auditioned for american idol when they came to boston a few years back. it was a really last minute thing and i wasn't expecting much because i didn't really get a lot of time to prepare when i decided to go but just wanted to do it for the experience. waited in line for hours. right before we auditioned, a group of us saw an excited girl running to what looked to be her father and hugging him, crying because of how happy she was because she was moving on. we all thought it was a really sweet moment. then we saw someone working redirect her back and had them shoot that moment, like, three more times. then they break you off into sections and wait in another line to be auditioned, but you can hear the people who are going before you. there were SO many talented people, and the only people i heard them let in were three very obviously bad singers. two of them seemed to be just messing around and one seemed more serious. i wasn't even upset about not moving on because i didn't really expect to, but it always bothered me that they chose people who wouldn't get far at all in the show just for entertainment factor rather than people with actual talent who care about music and want to pursue it. i feel like the whole "bad american idol auditions" trope has been taken way too far when you're taking three bad people out of a pool of the fifty that were standing there. that's just my opinion though

My problem with tragic backstories for those singers is this: everyone has had hard things in life happen that they had to go through. But someone like me, someone who doesn’t want to talk about it, wouldn’t have as much as a chance just because they don’t feel like giving the world a sob story. People that are silent about their past might not have it easier, they just don’t like telling the world about it.

I definitely agree with you, I'm not one to let my past impact who I am today. I don't want to be known as the guy who had this bad thing happen to him, I just want to be known as who I am. However, with something like American Idol where you know damn well what the game is (emotional sob story with a good voice basically gets you in), you have to play that game to make it. You have to be prepared to do something you may not want to do if you truly want the best chance at making it on that show. You have to play the game.

Part of what made the older seasons inspiring was that going up in front of the judges was a risk.

I remember replaying and loving the Shrek 2 DVD interactive game that was based off of American Idol, guest starring Simon Cowell. You would select which performance to hear from all of the characters and Simon would critique each one. You could select the winner at the end and if you were to select say the three blind mice, Simon would announce; "And the winner is....ME! For showing up to judge this competition" I still have a soft spot for the whole game, seventeen years later

I always used to love the audion parts of these shows. There used to be 3 groups, the terrible ones, the amazing talent ones and the inspirational if not the most talented ones. And that last group was rare which made it all that more amazing when it happened. Now it's mostly that which cheapens it. Another thing that they do is, if they show someone's story or linger on them before they go on, you know they're gonna be good or go through and it ruins the seconds before when you get to guess how it's going to go. It's so formulaic that it just sucks the joy out. ps. I'm still pissed that Adam didn't win

I think it's fair to say that they're giving disadvantaged people an opportunity when others already had that opportunity, because not everyone has money or vocal training. But at the end of the day, it's about talent, and people who aren't even averagely good shouldn't advance. Also, someone can lose their mom and still have a bunch of opportunities to become famous. Having something bad happen to you does not automatically make you less privileged or less advantaged. So yes, it is quite annoying that they seem to *only* choose people with sad backstories and say no to extremely talented people who don't have a tragic backstory.
@elliinspace4 жыл бұрын
It's also worth noting that not everyone without an extremely sad story who auditions is necessarily privileged. Maybe, they had a normal upbringing in a middle-class family. That still doesn't mean they have extremely high chances to make it without the competition, and the show might be important for them too. They might have worked hard behind the scenes. So, not being completely downtrodden doesn't mean that you're at the other extreme either. Being in the middle is also hard when it comes to fickle careers like show business.

I’m not a fan of the new angle I think I they’ve thrown away the idea of people even getting an opportunity and have turned it into pure television entertainment. There’s not much point in sacrificing talent for previous lack of opportunity. Which is probably why no one actually gets a decent music career off the show anymore. That’s accurate right? The new winners aren’t nearly as successful as they used to be, I can’t name anyone after Adam Lambert.

There's a middle ground here. You can criticise the material/performance in a constructive way but Simon's whole gimmick was being a prick. It's also overdone at this point.
