, I am here with yet another season of crying while watching American Idol. Last year was my final year to be able to try out if I wanted to, but I keep asking myself WHY would I want to do it? Is it just for my ego? For pride? For fame and riches?
Why would I WANT to be so famous? I don’t want my family torn apart by the media or my child scrutinized for being my son. I don’t want our lives lived in the public forum like that.
AND THE PRESSURE!!! AUGH!!!
Looming deadlines, public opinion, tour dates, physical wear & tear on your body, having to look perfect/be perfect every stinking moment! Waxing, hair appointments, high heeled shoes!!!
No no no no no.
I am happy to be independent, with no deadlines save the ones God imposes. I am happy to have my own means of making music without having to please anyone but God. I am content with my son living a semi-sheltered life where he can learn about the world safely without paparazzi snapping his eyeballs silly.
So I really don’t understand why I still cry over American Idol. I mean, a heartfelt song or gut wrenching story…ok…but just to sit and bawl while people sing?
Uh,
no.
This ends tonight.
