idols

for the last week out of boredem ive been following american idols. i think what attracts me to it(besides the odd hot chick) is simons comments. i love his brute honesty. reminds me of me :).its quite amusing seeing people make asses of themselves.(got mum hooked on it as well.she shocks me sometimes with her comments bout pitch, stage presence and choice of song) the scary thing is that they actually think they can sing! and worse than that is their family and friends that spur them on. so this got me thinking bout how we are influenced by the words of those around us. and that maybe sometimes we need to take a moment to tell these people around us to stop sugar coating and give it to us straight up. get a true and critical reflection of yourself. however one will have to take it in ones stride and see it as an opportunity to improve rather than get depressed.
