American Idol
American Idol is one of the various reality television shows today. Over 18 million people watch the show twice weekly. American Idol pertains to business as well as entertainment. To be a contestant on American Idol you have to be a U.S. Citizen between the age of 16 and 24. If you are under the age of 18 you have to be accompanied by an adult. The show starts off with many people who are competing to be finalists, but only twelve will make it. At the end of the season only one of the twelve will get to be the American Idol and get a career in the entertainment industry. Each show has theme and all twelve finalists has to perform according to the theme. On Tuesday they perform and on Wednesday the result of Tuesday’s performance comes on unless there are different allegations found about a contestant and they are disqualified. American Idol contestants face different challenges such as being eliminated from the contest, psychological changes, and career opportunities after appearing on the show, but also is a great opportunity for the contestants to pursue careers in the entertainment industry. Many contestants are eliminated by the voters or disqualified by the producers. At the e
Many of the contestants that are eliminated or disqualified go through some psychological changes within themselves and the audience. It would be very unsatisfying to invest so much time and not see stars like them developed at the end of the program. The response to Frenchie’s expulsion has drawn immediate ire from fans of American Idol. There is an online petition asking producers to bring her back. Frenchie states that, “she was disappointed with the way they allowed her to advance and think she’d be on the show before pulling the rug out from under her“ (Reality News 13 Feb. 2003). Frenchie should have been disappointed because she explained to the producers about her past and they waited till she doing and in the semi-finals to make the decision to disqualify her. Based upon my own research into Frenchie, Fox tried to hide her expulsion from the fans because one week she was on the show and the next week she was not and there was no mention of what happened to her. When Delano Cagnolatti was kicked off of the show he was confronted about the falsified documents on camera and his reaction was surprised. Cagnolatti acted as if he had given the producers all the right information, but then again he look as if it was all his fault that he got caught because he ask to sing his own song. Finally Cagnolatti confessed to lying about his age when he was confronted on how the producers found out how old he really was. Cagnolatti made a statement on Entertainment Tonight that, “He is not the only contestant that have lied about his age in order to in” (New York Daily News 10 Jul. 2002). He also stated that, “The way they confronted me on television was unnecessary and inappropriate” (New York Daily News 10 Jul. 2002). The way the producers went about this situation was very unprofessional and inappropriate because they could have wait until after the show or even went to commercial and told Cagnolatti of these allegations. When Julia DeMato was eliminated there were tears from one of the other contestants, Kimberly. Kimberly Caldwell cried because on a previous show she and Julia had gotten into a fight and by the next week she and Julia had gotten really close. “No one was surprised by Julia’s elimination because she had mouthed off to one of the judges and she was not that talented” (qtd. Bloomberg, Foxes On Idol 27 Mar. 2003). Agreeing with Bloomberg, Julia should have been eliminated from the show the first week she appeared because her performance was not good overall. Corey Clark’s past created some psychological problems for him because he probably will not be able to appear on any other show due to his criminal background was exposed on national television. David Bloomberg, the Editor of Foxes On Idol stated “the producers could have actually found out about this information during their background checks but Corey’s name was misspelled in the police report” (qtd. Ross, par.7). All Corey had to do was just be upfront about his situation even though they were not going to let him be a contestant on th
