”American Idol”: Breaking all the rules

There are four standard scripts for American Idol‘s female auditions (non-joke variety), and they can be pretty much summed up like this:

1. Hot looks, hot voice: ”You’re going to Hollywood, baby!”

2. Borderline looks, hot voice: ”Congratulations, we’re putting you through to the next round.” (Be thankful.)

3. Hot looks, borderline voice: ”I dunno, I mean, that was kinda all over the place, but, hmmm…there’s something I like about you. You deserve a second chance. You’re going to Hollywood, baby!”

4. Borderline looks, borderline voice: Sorry, hon, not even Paula’s on your side.

If you don’t fall under one of those headings, it’s a pretty good bet the show’s producers are tossing you into the dignity dumpster reserved for the homely, the obese, the deranged, and the deluded — none of whom can sing, none of whom are traditional beauties, and all of whom can be ridiculed for a few minutes of highly rated entertainment (guilt apparently not included).
