i have always known that i never have that X factor to be a celebrity, yet yesterdayi still manage and spare my times to join the audition for that idol thing. the idol. the only reality show that produced the original kelly clarkson. the one which is the franchise. well, i sense that i have the thing for singing but aparently it is not that big. i used to join some singing competition in high schools and made it to the big five. but i guess time has really brought me the thing to do to feed my guts. and its not singing. well, anyone can have a dream of being on a stage with another singers or my brother call them vocalists (to differ those who sing with exaggerating attitude and those who sing so called from their heart). i always dream that well, one day i could sing with shania. u tell me...i could sing each of her song from her woman in me album. i was mesmerized by her voice, her songs, her appearance, and her...everything. i am a big fan of her since then. till now anyway. its the thrill that u cannot feel everytime i sing her song. well, for those who consider that rock music is the coolest ever might dont know how it feels to enjoy a country song. i dont blame people for loving rock songs or sleazy and lame pop songs anyway.

back to the audition.just like last year, thousands of people flocked to run for their dream. i bet all the people in the que line believe that its the calling of their life, to be a star, cause thats what the show has always emphasized all the time.if u think u have the guts and quite enough voice to sing, i suggest u try, who knows u could appear some minutes fame on TV. each year there are always strange stylissimo trying to make an appearance on TV. well, its their decisions to be the object of laughing anyway. Tv always manage to sell something right?
anyway, i came like in the middle of the day with some other anthusiastic dream chaser. we waited for 4 hours until came the moment, which was only 1 minute or so, to deliberately sang our song and to reckon that...well,sorry guys you are not the kind of idol that we are looking for, better luck next time. yeah...right. thousands of people came and probably only 20 something will be embrace and brought to Jakarta.
its this kinda phenomena that sells on TV. people love it.
anyway, when will the time comes for the end of reality TV?
