American Idol Is On Shaky Ground

My first comments on the Internet were in 2005 sometime before I founded Freelance Writing, currently widely displayed on the web as political, music, stock and product reviewers and critics. Those initial remarks posted on prominent web sites concerned my feelings that American Idol was beginning to format the industry into a diminishing state whereas the amateurs were being placed in a viewpoint of overstated value. This affected a 21 century music industry that could not come close to even decade 70's. In the 70's we had Dionne Warwick, Rita Coolidge, Anne Murray, Karen Carpenter, Wings,Barry White, Boston, James Taylor and so many verified and proven professional artists while today although we do have singer songwriters that are astounding like Norah Jones, Counting Crows, the Fray, Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow and Steve Poltz, I still say that if you are a session guitarist with  great vocals and you are in a legitimate band you go to an arena and excite the fans, you do not need three clowns or jesters to judge you. For me with all the hype of finding the next Bod Dylan, we are amazed that Bob's son and his Wallflowers adult alternative band were very much ahead of any wannabe ever appearing on Idol. I know they are leaving, the amateur hour people, because Paula left (she plays dumb but she is a shrewd businesswoman) and Simon has prepared us for his departure. The A&R people will start to bring out some professional talent and if you go back to my dozens of blogs on this subject, I am confident that you will understand why a new concert hour at a late night slot will replace Idol even if oldies acts come on. I humbly suggest that the iconic acts drop their price and ego and be part of a new Midnight Special, a new day for professionalism in music on network television. Carrie and Kelly are pros and of course would be highlighted on the first night.

Can Sarah Palin Win The Presidency in 2012?

If you ask that question as of today's date and then ran an opinion poll, I think the translated and ultimate answer would be Why Not?  Barack Obama has every chance to redeem himself and his administration from the bevy of failures we have seen so far but honestly and as of this moment, Sarah Palin would make a perfectly fine President. Watching her media appearances I would say she has gone to school and is sharper and more knowledgeable than she was during the election. She is a rock star candidate of mammoth proportions, much bigger than Obama ever was. People are camping out over night to see her speech and her book has surpassed one million sold. A second printing is in the process.She has made more money in hour speeches that any 1,000 of us working our 9 to 5 jobs. She is an attractive women and that is part of the millions of conservations in America concerning her comings and goings. If she does not become our next President, woman will not break the glass ceiling in a dog's age. Sarah Palin has shown a political life known for practicing bipartisanship and being very critical of her own Party. This suggests a Palin White House will be composed of  high level advisors whose administration does not abuse the public with rhetoric supporting dictators and ridiculous theories. Can Sarah Palin reside in the White House? You betcha.
