millions of people can't be wrong?
This Blog Sits at the: has a great post about American Idol. 40% of the homes in the US are watching. 40% of the homes. 40%. That's a lot of eyeballs on Coke logos.
Grant imagines the scenario where the show was being pitched to Coke, before episode one was ever produced:
Tell me again what it is, again.
Well, the show travels America and invites people to try out...and become the next American idol.
The next what?
Idol.
What, like an Easter Island idol?
No, you know, like a really big star.
But when you find them they're total nobodies?
Right.
Don't you have to be Clive Davis to do this?
Well, actually, it's a competition. The nation will vote.
So it's a talent contest.
Well, yes and no.
I thought talent contests died in the 1950s. On the west coast. Kitsilano showboat, wasn't it? The spring of 1959?
Well, yes, but this is brand new. Completely different.
Precisely the same, but completely different?
Exactly!
And the question is of course, how do you make the right decision, when you're in the same position? Grant has some wise advice on the thought process you might want to consider.
