It goes without question that weekly T.V. shows have under gone some Extreme Makeovers over the past decade. The days of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire are going out of fashion, becoming less popular as each year progresses. There will of course, always exist trash T.V. a.k.a A Shot at Love, Rock of Love... etc all of which I proudly do not watch, but there are also a plethora of talent searching shows. Every channel has its own unique talent show. Some involve dancing; cooking, dieting, fashion/modeling the list has no end. 

On June 11, 2002, American television aired what would become one of the most popular talent hit series ever. This was the day that American Idol charmed itself onto our screens. I tuned into that first American Idol episode and have yet to miss one in 7 years, consequently I have fallen victim to its enchantment.

         With every passing year, there is new talent. They are eager to raise the bar and they’re constantly out to surpass the accomplishments that idols have set before them. Being an avid fan, I cling to the classics, like the Power House, the Spark, and the Unexpected.   Our music industry is filled with American Idol contestants – some may be seen as a flash in a pan, but some contestants have already won multiple Grammy Awards along with having platinum records.
