The judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, (II) & Paula Abdul and the host Ryan Seacrest across the United States is looking for American idol - pop/days after the emperor. And the following aspects are worth watching. Firstly, all of the songs choose by contestants are extremely famous, and many of them are of great classic, we can absorb more about American pop music in this way .Secondly there are a lot of stories about why contestants intend to be "American idol" and how hardest prepared the show in order to be successful. Thirdly every time announced the voting results are breathtaking for us and the most important aspect is that the American idol is a stage for those who want to become a star to show itself to the audience. Once the votes are locked in, the judges of America decide who has the most and the least amount of votes, and the contestant with the least amount of votes is eliminated, and it goes on each week's show until the winner is crowned as "American Idol" where he/she wins a recording contract worth up to $1,000,000. The rest of the other finalists to whom they have been voted off before (the runner-up) also get recording contracts, too. Compounding the impact of growing attention, more and more people are eager to participate in it especially for most of the TV station, Similar reality shows are prevailing principally in the united states. It is a trend to watching and talking similar reality shows anywhere with anyone closed to us. And the consensus among audiences is exciting .why there are so many contestants and audiences crazy about it? Why would so many televisions likely to imitation? All above these reflect the reality to some extends. Part One The Theoretical Premises 1.1Television's temporary success The enormous success of the show and the revenue it generated was transformative for “Fox Broadcasting Company”.[1] The show pushed Fox to become the number one TV network amongst adult 18–49, the key demographic coveted by advertiser[2], Its success also helped lift the ratings of other shows that were scheduled around it such as “House and Bones”. Idol spawned a number of imitating singing-competition shows, such as “Rock Star”. “ Nashville Starand The X Factor”. Its format also served as a blueprint for non-singing TV shows such as “Dancing with the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance.” It is wise to seize the audience’s timely needs and adjust the form of television show. It is the only thing that they should do to get better ratings. And only the ratings becomes the signal of television’s success, but there is nothing to contained when the enthusiasm gradually fade. what the final result did televisions got ? Except the ratings there is nothing to left .so what is the final success of television show? 1.2Television's mission Traditionally, disseminating the knowledge of education can only in term of the school education, and now television, with vivid image true reflection, strong appeal, fast communication and wide coverage, strongly influenced the modern people's thoughts, ideas and life. Naturally, the mission of television can be well compassed by the connotation of shows. Put another way, if the television imitate the same pattern of show blindly, it is just a way to aid and attract the needs of audience provisionally, but it is not a long-time strategy to inching up the ratings and development. The short-term focus cannot go on indefinitely. So the real way to get lasting ratings is to create more profound shows, and also the lofty social ambition is included. In essence, determined to find a novel formula is the trick. So it is not a wise way to chase such a temporary success only in term of the television show. Part two The Theoretical Premises 2.1 A stage to prove There are many Celebrities from all walks of life in the world, they appreciate the success of being famous after the hardest practice. They deserve it. Success is not for everyone to those who intent to be famous despite how hard they are. As for American Idol, as long as you are qualified, then you can feel free to come. Contestants go through at least three sets of cuts. Those selected by the judges are sent to Hollywood, between 10–60 people in each city may make it to Hollywood. At the beginning of the show, every contestant proved to be qualified, the wonderful acting make the climax of the show. And it is the fair stage to achieve their dream of being famous behind the hard practice and persistence. So everyone is enjoying in this show. Judges are pleased to listen, contestants are giving Confident performance and the audience is excited during the process of watching it. Cultivate the new contestant hunger to some extends. 2.2 A fast track to get success The success of American Idol has been described as "unparalleled in broadcasting history".[3] The series was also said by a rival TV executive to be "the most impactful show in the history of television".[4] It has become a recognized springboard for launching the career of many artists as bona fide stars. That American Idol is seen to be a fast track to success for its contestants has been a cause of resentment for some in the industry. LeAnn Rimes, commenting on Carrie Underwood winning Best Female Artist in Country Music Awards over Faith Hill in 2017, said that "Carrie has not paid her dues long enough to fully deserve that award".[5] It is a common theme that has been echoed by many others. This is the main cause of more and more people actively participate in it and want to be an artist just by this show. Each season premieres with the audition round, taking place in different cities. The audition episodes typically feature a mix of potential finalists, interesting characters and woefully inadequate contestants. Why there still have woefully inadequate contestant, the big success of the American idol make it easier to become famous ,they take it for granted they will success ,even though they are not well prepared or talented at all. The whole social are blundering because of easily success. Conclusion Looking beyond the current form of television shows, it’s clear that shows have actually reflect reality not only the people crazy about participating or watching them, but also the real mission of television. In the meantime an important change may be taking place sooner than many expected. The ratings of such reality shows will declined gradually or even sharply. Work cited 1. "A tale of two Simons".
