I can only hope, one day, that an 'American Arranger' program becomes popular. Then we will find out for ourselves what it is like to take the weakest, poorest players, build up their egos with false hope, and let Simon et al rip them to shreds in the name of 'entertainment'.

It is unbelievable that the same posters here, who rush to defend a poster who gets a cruel review of a demo, are the very ones that revel in American Idol.

I guess it's only funny if it happens to someone you don't know.......
