   Idol has moved from singing competition to popularity contest. The same happened in American Idol.

   It’s meaningless to win by “buying votes”, because in the end he/she can’t sell their albums anyway, without a strong fans base, even though they ARE the champion.

   Now most contestants participate in the competition not to win, but to get themselves known / publicized, and use it as a stepping stone for their singing career.

   A good example of the flaw of “democracy” when the people are not mature enough. Judges’ vote should play a role in the overall votes, in my humble opinion.

   To be honest I’d rather see a nice-looking girl with a good voice than an unsightly woman with a perfect voice. It would be a different case if the nice-looking girl had a terrible voice.

   I guess it is human nature to be subjective. It’s hardly surprising that look and personality count in this audio-visual entertainment world – they are part of the equation.

   Indonesian or American Idol is the same. It’s not a pure singing Competition. It’s more to SMS Competition lately.
   It will be better if we have a real Singing Competition , judge by Professional judges such as Professional Singers, Professional musicians and some professional from the music Industry. Then only we can say, it’s a singing competition.
   You will see some real talents there. ( remember the then Bintang Radio, 30 years ago ). But business is business. TV networks have their unique way to market their products.

   I don’t care who wins. I’ve met some of the idols and they are great people with beautiful voice.
