American Idol is about the only television show that I watch regularly each week. Anyone between the age of sixteen and twenty-nine can enter. The best singers are selected by the three judges – Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell. They go all over the country to hear thousands of singers, most of them dreadful. We get to see some of that on television.
Once the judges have narrowed the list of singers down to 24, then we viewers become the judges, using our telephones to vote for the singer we like. Every week those with the least number of votes get kicked off. When it comes down to just twelve singers, then one is kicked off each week till there is only one left, the winner.
Right now there are nine singers left.
