Last night, I was using my computer while American Idol was on in the background.  There's only one contestant who has gotten my attention so far, so when I heard she was ready to perform, I went over to take a look.  The performance left a lot to be desired, but that wasn't the problem.  The problem was how the judges were fixated on the dress she wore.  There was hardly a mention of the song she sang or her technique.  Instead, they were obsessed with the fashion choice of a 16 year old girl.

     I'm not a fan of pop music.  The big reason is the poor quality of the music, but I'm also annoyed by the focus on appearance and things that simply don't matter.  After all, when you're listening to the radio, do you see the clothing a singer is wearing?  If you could, would you care?
