American Idol has no problem saying that not everyone can sing equally well; that someone like Carrie Underwood deserves to continue in the competition and win, while a William Hung does not. American Idol would never give trophies to everybody in the competition so that nobody’s “self-esteem” would be hurt. When Simon was on the show, he had no problem telling people they were untalented and should go into a different line of work. Maybe schools SHOULD take a lesson from the show!
American Idol faces and accepts (and forces others to accept) reality. Something our school systems refuse to do.
