There's A LOT of stupid rules on American Idol. Having these old
crooners 40 years older than the contestants (who the **** needs a
Dolly Parton or a Neil Diamond as a coach?, let alone singing their
dippy songs on a theme night??????) is dumb. But it's the hoops you
gotta jump through to snag the crown.

I way disagree about that. I'm sure that if you made it 100% optional,
every singer on the show would beg to have half an hour of instruction,
and
suggestions about their next performance, from Dolly Parton or Neil
Diamond.
I don't even like Neil Diamond and if I were a singer -- much less a
contestant about to sing a song he wrote -- I'd really give a lot for a
session with him.
They are both extremely successful songwriters as well as top professional
performers. Most people are mature enough, especially if they are trying
to
start out in a profession, to realize that top successful people in their
field might actually know something they don't.
