[Harp-L] Re: Taylor Hicks & American Idol in General



Speaking from a personal standpoint with a recent personal meeting with the infamous Simon Cowell, I can only wish Taylor the very best, and congratulate him on his making it even 1/10 of his way to the finals! It is true that the whole concept of AI is self-promotion of those on the panel, with Simon the centerpiece of self adoration.

Now the new project, America's Got Talent, from the same self-centered Simon, though he is now behind the scenes as executive producer, is hitting the market on June 21 with a 2-hour opening show on NBC this time around, is hosted by Regis Philbin. (However, Regis is merely a figure-head, with no input into the outcome, on any level.) Be assured this program, still in its beginning stages, is a mockery of the talent that is being showcased. AGT, proclaimed as being open to all types of talent, with no age limitations, turns out to once again feature primarily vocalists, though not specified in its program description.

More on this later - but be forewarned.
