I think I've figured out why American Idol is so popular. If the rest of the world is like me, I spend an awful lot of time in the car alone. And when a song I like comes on the radio, I turn it up real loud and sing like I'm on stage. It never occurs to me to think about what the others on the road must think of me - which I'm pretty sure falls under the pathetic, ridiculous, really sad arena. Think that's what it's like for American Idol-wannabees? Just without the car, or the traffic?
