Different levels of sadness and how they relate to American Idol

  1. Sadness Expressed by someone who is an okay singer (probably number three in their high school chorus or church choir) who doesn't even get to audition for Simon and the Gang
  2. Sadness of someone who has no talent but goes on the show to try and grasp their 15 minutes of fame.
  3. Sadness of the guy sitting at home alone watching the show and get on his cell phone to call his friends to tell them all how funny number 2 was.
  4. Sadness of the eight year old boy who could not watch last night's premiere because he was at the vet with his puppy Rusty, who he got for Christmas, who had to be put to sleep because he had a inoperable tumor on his brain that was causing him to run into things and urinate everywhere.

This show drives me nuts. The prescreening must take the good, and the REALLY bad to go on to see Simon, Randy and Basketcase. It is sad how they give the REALLY bad people false hope, and then use them as comedic material, thus leaving them in tears.

And wow, #4 was harsh!
