only if you let that happen. they're not entitled to compromise aesthetics. besides, i only wish to participate in the hopes of getting exposure, not winning the actual competition. lisa mitchell was 6th place in 2006, she moved to the UK and signed with an indie label there and she's arguably the most successful out of all the contestant in the history of aus idol. i think the pay off is worth it despite the notoriety of idol.

that's the most annoying part about idol; the show caters towards teenyboppers rather than a universal audience. it's glorified karaoke, and there's no reason for it to be so damn cheap. imagine having a competition show with a setting like the basement or live at abbey road; something like masterchef for bands/musicians. i met one of the top 24's a while back, apparently the level of freedom you have is **** (due to label licensing) and you choose songs several weeks in advance. you do skip all the ****ty parts if you become popular in the competition however... so that's what i'm aiming for. playing to a few drunk old people (with the occasional awesome gig) gets tedious.
