Frustration With "American Idol."

Several people have voiced frustration over Lil Rounds' elimination on "Idol" last night.

First, they often test artists to see if they are "coachable." Lil obviously failed that test.

Secondly, they often take the "lesser" artists and make them stars.

Look at William Hung of the "She Bangs" fame. He didn't get to the show; just the try-outs. They decided to produce a record for him! The first "Idol" (Kelly Clarkson) is barely functioning at this point. The second and third place people have fared better.

More recently, Jennifer Hudson lost near the end of the show. After that, She upstaged Beyonce; taking a lead singing role in "Dreamgirls." Her debut CD won a Grammy!

Before that, LaToya London (Season 3) was voted off the show. Her voice is nearly flawless!! Even Simon said that America made a mistake. Fantasia went on to win that year.

Eventually, LaToya was forgotten and though she had one of the BEST records on the market, her flame fizzled out. She's trying to make a comeback.

Right now, they have my friend (Michael Sarver) out "on tour." I don't know what that means but I will get in touch with Mike to find out.

Simon and Randy will produce records for anybody that shows real promise. They also pass artists off to other producers.

Don't be dismayed. I don't think we've seen and heard the last of Lil Rounds.

T. Greigh, Out.
