American Idol:anything goes

the 90's had Jerry Springer,the 00's have American idol which has had a grip on people of all backgrounds,sexes,ages,etc... I don't get into the show because it's pretty Predictable after a while,but the basic elements that they show keep you laughing. despite all the scandals,turmoil&Controversys this show just keeps going strong. it's no secret that when they select who makes it deep into there shows they are looking to clone someone. the guy who owns the show has rights over all the Acts that make it onto the show&Beyond. this show truly controls it's own destiny unlike any other show that I have ever seen. it truly is a Teflon Don of Tv shows. earlier I compared this show to Jerry Springer&with the exception of a few things, that ain't that far fetched.
