Changes Needed For American Idol
Mood:  quizzical
It looks like "American Idol" has topped out as the biggest karaoke contest on the planet. The final episode was down substantially from last year.

Obviously, there should be more original material sung in this contest. This would also promote the works of songwriters who desperately need a break.

The song numbers could become production numbers like in a musical or a MTV video. This would raise the series up to a variety show. Maybe in 20 or 30 years, American Idol could be said in the same breath as "The Ed Sullivan Show" and "American Bandstand".

American Idol Tampering
Mood:  down
Again Randy, Paula and Simon have attempted to crown Fantasia Barrino the America Idol. This is not good because the audience may choose Diana Degarmo via a backlash in the same way that they chose Jasmine over La Toya.

In my opinion, Diana is a better middle-of-the-road singer/performer than Fantasia who gives a "gospel/R&B rendition" each time out. However, I wouldn't like to see Diana selected American Idol for the wrong reasons.

The weakest thing about American Idol has been the lapdog and/or negative adjudications of the judges. Don't you think that successful music people like Dick Clark, Don Kurshner or Barry Gordy would do better?

A Memorial To Fallen Karaoke Singers
Over the last few years and recently, we've witnessed the passing away of excellent karaoke hosts and singers. None were rich or famous, but they touched the lives of hundreds and even thousands of people with their songs. This list includes Laurie Marcoux, Doug Wright, Ken and most recently Wayne of T&W Entertainment. Last night, we found out at Oscar's Roadhouse that Wayne had died from cancer. He will be missed. He was such a nice guy and a great country singer. I'm sure you know of others who enriched the world with song, but were prematurely taken away to sing heavenly karaoke. No doubt, there is a shortage of good singers in the universe and the best music is on planet earth. Karaoke has changed the world. After all, "American Idol" is just a big karaoke contest for young people. Karaoke Links

Movie Review 72: Master And Commander
While this film doesn't have the scope and power of "Sink The Bismarck", it does have three dimensional characters who are well portrayed by the ensemble case, especially, Russell Crowe as the man of war and Paul Bettany as the man of science.

The main problem with epics like these is that they run too long and have a tendency to meander on scenic and "special" material(The French point of view of this conflict appears non existent, probably because the director wanted to focus on the problems of the English crew.)

However, I'll give it three stars because I found the story a thinking man's adventure.

The Dave And Irene Show
Here we are auditioning for a department store mannequin contest in Brampton. We lost because we didn't look lifelike enough.



I felt like a sturgeon getting caught for the first time.

A New Reality Series: "The Big Pitch"
Mood:  bright
This is my suggestion for the next reality TV show. Hollywood receives thousands of screenplays every year, so why not have a contest where loglines and synopsizes are pitched to producers and TV audiences. If future recording stars are selected through stiff competition, why screenwriters?

Screenwriters need more of break than anyone and this type of contest could result in better movies? What do you think?

A Special American Idol Tonight
Mood:  hug me
Despite the fact that I expected to see Jasmine Trias dropped in this round, I was very moved by the tears and affection that her co-contestants, Diana and Fantasia showed her.

Suddenly, the show became about friendship and encouragement for friends.

None of the finalists are showbiz types. They are "All-American Girls Next Door" who are in awe of their celebratory status.

Suddenly, winning became secondary to the experiences of being on the show itself and sharing your joys and sorrows with new found friends who care for you.

This is the kind of reality TV that I want more of.
