Open letter to parents/friends/co-workers of potential AI participants:

Dear Ones: If you care at all for the person who mentions auditioning, and if they (1) can't carry a tune in a bucket or (2) have absolutely NO charisma, it is your duty as a human being to talk them out of it! You parents who think it's important to encourage your beloved offspring in whatever endeavors they choose, you are WRONG! It's not doing them any favors to pretend they have what it takes for a competition like this. Don't lie to them; don't lead them on; don't pretend with them that they have vocal talent if they do not; offer to help them discover what their true abilities really ARE. And for pete's sake, don't raise them to be so self-centered that they have a full-blown public temper tantrum if someone dares to tell them the truth. Lastly, if they are talentless, yet still insist on putting themselves through this, please teach them to leave gracefully, keeping their potty mouth shut and their filthy hands in their pockets.

Decorum, people. Please.

But it's those talentless hacks with family and friends who can't be honest that make the show truly great in the first three weeks. Would you really want to watch AI if everyone was great? Would those great singers still seems great without the terrible ones to compare to?

I'd have to agree with you, Mom. I could do without the auditions. Just start airing it at Hollywood week, and I'd be fine.
