American Idol

     American Idol is a reality TV show that has been going on for about a decade.  Thousands and thousands of Americans audition to be on the show, but only 24 make it through to the actual round.  The contestants sing and perform infront of a live audience and the show's judges.  They are critiqued by the judges then America votes for who they want to keep on the show.  The person with the lowest amount of votes has to go home.  Even though there is only one official "winner" many of the contestants still "win" because they go on to make record deals, have concerts, ect.. For example, Chris Daughtry didn't make it to the end but he has become very successful in his music career.  It's not just about who gets the title of "American Idol," but it is also about the ones who give it all they got and make something out of themselves.
