The worldwide Idol franchise is no more than a Karaoke competition. It captures all that is wrong with the music industry. The emotionally manipulated viewer sits captivated on their couch, cell-phone in hand, ready to line the TV executive's pockets.

Just another "Stupid Tax" to remove money from fools via their phone bill.

The judges are actors, trained to provoke the biggest reaction in the home viewer ... and get them spending. "He called her fat! I'm going to vote for her. I'm on her side. She's gonna win. He can't call her fat!"
