So it has been another entertaining week for American Idol. I didn't learn as much this week but to be fair, I have been a little distracted with school and my company. Nevertheless Wednesday night did offer a couple of lessons:
1) Don't perform moves that cause your pants to split down the middle (especially if you are a guy)
2) Don't get hauled out in handcuffs after singing Amazing Grace
These lessons also translate to real life:
1) No one should do the splits if they are wearing tight pants. Most guys shouldn't do the splits EVER. Actually most people shouldn't wear tight pants - EVER.
2) Don't be a hypocrite.
It's not much but still they are good lessons. I will be sure to watch Idol next week when I'm not so distracted so that I can learn more from it.

Lessons Learned from Week 1
Week 1 was even crazier then I expected American Idol to be. After 8 seasons don't people realize that if you suck, the judges will laugh at you (as will almost everyone else in the world). I guess a few seconds of fame are worth it to some people. Anyway here are the lessons I learned in week 1:
1)Sing a song that matches your voice especially if you don't want the judges laughing at you. I have a feeling that this one is going to be repeated soon (probably in week 2)
2) Don't audition with your BFF, marriages have broken up over less.
3) Only audition if your dream is to become a singer because really is a few seconds of TV time worth the humiliation?
4) Know the words to the song that you are trying to sing. Nerves are one thing but to not know any part of the song, have you heard of practicing?
5) Don't cuss out the judges. If someone has been lieing to you all your life, it probably means that they are laughing at you behind your back. You should thank the judges for being honest enough to tell you that you suck!
These lessons can translate to real life:
1)Sing in the shower and if the dog starts howling, never sing outside of the shower, but if the cat goes missing for the rest of the day, stop singing and never start again.
2)If an activity could end a friendship (like working together), don't take your BFF - find a friend who doesn't mean that much to you.
3) Follow your dreams but make sure they are realistic first.
4) If you want to make a career out of your job, you need to practice and get better at it.
5) Don't cuss out your boss unless you want to be fired.

Reuniting with American Idol
I haven't watched American Idol since season 1 but since Ellen will be judging this season I just had to start again. To fit American Idol on my DVR for week 1, I had to sacrifice Ghost Hunters International. I decided it was worth it to commit to a season of American Idol with Ellen. Luckily most of my other shows haven't started back up yet so I haven't had to sacrifice anything else yet.
