There is no denying the power reality show American Idol has on the music industry.
Last year's winner Kris Allen has just recently released his new single "Live Like We're Dying" (you can listen below), Paula Abdul really isn't coming back to the show and Ellen DeGeneres is replacing her. The media buzz surrounding the Paula/Ellen situation is amazing. It has been everywhere since the announcement. Everyone seems to feel the need to give their opinion on the situation.... so here goes mine!! I have been watching "Idol" since the very first season. I have skipped a couple of seasons along the way, but in general I am a frequent watcher of the show. I really REALLY liked Paula on the show. She was like the breath of fresh air among a panel of boring, sometimes heartless, judges. Ok, so maybe the other judges weren't as "heartless" as Kanye, but that's a completely different story. Anyways. I like Ellen DeGeneres, but I don't know that I like her for American Idol. Let's face it, right now Ellen is one of the biggest people in the entertainment industry. I don't understand why should would even do the show when she has her own. She is funny but I am afraid her jokes and sarcastic comments will become the spotlight of the show instead of what should be. The point of the show is to find America's raw singing talent, not exemplify a comedienne's already established career. That's enough of that.
Listen to Kris Allen's new single and let it inspire you to "live more, laugh often, love much":
