Things I Do To Win

Greetings. It has come to my attention that the world's number one reality TV singing show, American Idol has another winner. Kris Allen. Right? I don't actually follow the show but yeah, his news are massive. Why do I care enough to write about it? Well, firstly it's because I heard that he sucks. Good voice, yeah, but heard better. Good looking, uhuh, but seen handsome-er. What's wrong with you people? It's just a TV show! Why is the whole world treating it with such attention that even global warming is just another sideline story.

You voted, you complain. You watch, you didn't vote, and you complain. You don't watch, you don't complain, the world is a better place to live. These are the thing that Simon Fuller wants. Unnecessary attention from all over the world. It's just gimmick done by those who scraps billions from the votes Americans casted. Boom. Allen won. Boom again. The world press disagrees. Sometimes it's funny to see people being so gullible.

Okay, that's the problem with voting. It's only a matter of popularity. If the guy is hot enough, then he's the winner. There's no need for controversies because, what's the point? Take the Asian Idol for example. Even Dalai Lama knew that Hady Mirza is just another hot guy on the block. I can spot any talent better than him in 0.00012 second. And yet people voted for him. The reason is obvious. The world population is just not mature enough to vote according to talent. 

Another problem with it is that it gives space for bribery. I believe that many are still choosing not because of their confidence in the winner. The candidate (I'm talking about TV shows and others, so don't judge me), when they're desperate to get the thing they're contesting for, will give away 'services'. I'm not accusing, it's a matter of possibility. It's the same as when you're with your probable in-laws. To get the 'vote' from the family, this guy would do anything. Suddenly he has wings with some round thingy over the head, lights everywhere and complete five times a day prayers.

There's no such thing as a perfect system in this world. But we can try to improve. Maybe the system is okay. But the problems start with our mentality. Copernicus just called. The universe does not revolve around the screen you called Bravia or whatnot. Leave it for a while, and you'll see that there are more things in life than television. Like, internet for example. He3
