According to MySpace, "American Idol is back in January 2010 for it’s 10th anniversary on FOX. The number one hit series, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, empowers contestants and viewers to share their voices to help decide who will be America’s next superstar. While celebrating the upcoming 10th season, hopefuls across the country will, now for the first time, have the opportunity to audition for American Idol from the comfort of their own home. Season 10 auditions are an opportunity for you to audition for American Idol and potentially be selected to advance to the American Idol Los Angeles callbacks. Online audition videos of eligible participants submitted for consideration will be judged according to the same parameters as live venue auditions. If you are selected to progress to the Los Angeles callbacks, you will be required to provide or arrange for your own travel to the Los Angeles callbacks."
I think this is a great way to explore talent in the world, however, I think they are going to attract more than enough videos that don’t express real performers talent. The whole idea in my head is “How bad do you really want it?” If you want it that bad, you will be willing to stand in line to wait your turn to audition in front of the judges. Another factor that concerns me, as a performer is, it is so much easier to sit in front of a computer screen and upload a video, but it’s not the same as performing in front of a panel of judges. I think this aspect is taking away from the “real idea” behind American Idol and instead attracting unwanted/unneeded people who claim they have talent while sitting in front of their computer screens. For a show this big, you have to have some experience in performing and working a stage. However, with the world becoming so digital, I feel like this way of auditioning takes away from the true meaning of how bad you really want to be the next American Idol.
Aside from MySpace, I am true believer in finding great talent within the world of YouTube. Here are some artists, in my opinion, that express their true passion, dedication and musical talent. It's creative artists like these, who are unique and deserve a shot at becoming America's next superstar.
