Imagine
Try to imagine this morning, a world with the BlogAudSphere. A world with MP3s, OGGs (Ogg Vorbis), Creative Commons, RSS, ATOM, SAM, "your voice" in the conversation (audio content) and "you" making the choices.
When I watched "American Idol" with the family last night I thought "Why do I need Paula, Simon and Randy picking my American Idol?". As I watched the show, I wanted all the singers (the ones that showed some talent) to get their shot at an audience and I wanted more judging teams, with a wider music category objective, making choices, not just the show's famous 3 (who at times seemed to be to sick or burned out to make the right choices) looking for that one great person, in a very subjective way, to appeal to us all. I wanted some of the show's rejected talent to be given some more time and attention by the judges, given a second chance and especially to know that they could continue to develop their talent and the show wasn't the end all.
In the BlogAudSphere it is true that the bad singing talent will remain bad (no miracles here) but the system has room for many American Idols to develop their talent and find their audience and opportunities doing what they love doing. The American Idols of the BlogAudSphere get to call it quites to doing what they love doing when "they" decide to call it quites. Not when they can't sell a million albums anymore or when 3 judges tell them to leave. That's one of the potentials the BlogAudSphere brings and differs from the old/existing analog public audio message delivering system.
Isn't this the way the system should be or should have always been?
