American Idol Is Back

This week is the third week for American Idol 2009. And as I checked the schedule, they would be airing from 8PM eastern time from Tuesday to Thursday.

For me, that is good because I really like American Idol. It just makes me excited to wait for the show and watch it. It's a singing contest but it embodies many things America and many things universal.

American Idol is about dreams and working one's way through achieving her/his dreams. It is a personal story of a struggling single mom, a loving son whose mother is battling cancer, and a teenager going through financial crisis. It is about family and friends supporting each other. It is about the weird side of America with all the kinds of people auditioning with or without singing abilities.

Guess what, I strated this blog because of American Idol itself. I watch American Idol because it is about American culture and universal culture. I know it gets criticisms (which are very grounded) and questions about its selection process but I still watch it. I like the show and I know most people do.
