If I had been assigned to underwrite American Idol

Why does a show exist called American Idol?
Why do I have to assess this? If there is a risk, Americans are libel.

Is this from some need, of the upright chimpanzee?
It must be, surely , you would agree

There's a deep spiritual need for nationwide, televised Karaoke...

That's why it exists
In order to form a more perfect union of Elvis's


The producers needed a panel and a figurehead that was elven or elf-ish

(I see how it's done, underwriting has begun)

They said "Let's get, a condescending Brit, oh and that one mature chick, that did that song about attracting opposites, and at least one dude who can be easily fooled, into thinking that dressing and singing like Chris Cornell's clone is the most original thing that's ever been done..."

Let's face it, the trainwreck that is made up of the audition weeks is the only REAL entertainment of that show... Once Hollywood week starts, it's just a concert of amateur singers (i.e. Karaoke with better lighting and sound)....
