I sometimes watch American idol when I catch it. I dont have a TV so it's not very often.

What I often ask myself though... Why on earth are these people so crazed, hyped and obsessed with making it to the next stage? Like seriously. Some of them get absolutely heartbroken when they get a rejection from the judges.

I just don't get it. Did they seriously think they had a chance to make it out of the many thousands that apply? Do they seriously feel so entitled to making...
