TV tonight

As some of you may know, American Idol starts tonight. It's an odd thing. People who think they're the greatest singers in the world go to try out for the show and find out that nobody in their life has told them they're tone deaf. As a result, they make the audition shows and people watch--sometimes cringing, sometimes laughing. So, is it better to destroy someone's dream before they make a fool of themselves, or should they still have the chance to try and see they don't have what it takes? Even sadder, some of them maintain their denial even when faced with the facts. Then we sit and watch and call it entertainment. Okay, I admit it. It's like a train wreck and better them than me so I will watch. I will feel for them a little. At least they had the courage to take a risk.
