Do me a favor. Next time you're watching American Idol and some soul-selling twenty-something wannabe pop star is up on stage singing something so easy listening the "Lite FM" deejays think it's saccharine, pay attention to how indifferent the audience is. These poor people standing around in the crowd look like they got stood up at karaoke night and now they're stuck watching some Japanese dude in a suit two sizes too small butcher "Ironic." It's very sad to think that nevertheless, more people voted for the last American Idol than in the last presidential election.
