But how did they get their name? By beating out thousands upon thousands of other people with their talent, looks, charm, personality, etc and then connecting with millions of television viewers (remember, AI could have been a total flop if the performers hadn't connected with America).

Hmm.... But there are lots of suspect singers on Broadway. And lots of people who can't act. Just because you can play a certain role or do a certain track on Broadway doesn't make you an accomplished actor.
Why don't the AI people have "the package"? They have to be able to learn new songs every week and put them up onstage in front of millions of viewers. Lots of Broadway performers couldn't do that very well. Some have, in fact, tried and failed to get very far on AI.

Now, you're getting somewhere. "We don't know" is quite valid. But why do you assume the worse of people when you "don't know"? Who is to say that Fantasia isn't a TERRIFIC actress? I think her work on AI reflects that of someone who would make a terrific actress.

Very interesting. First of all, everyone takes a different route to Broadway. It's not "hard" for everyone. Heck, some people move to this town and book the first Broadway show they audition for. Some are discovered in other venues and begged to do Broadway shows when they don't even want to. Why do you think that someone doesn't deserve Broadway unless they struggle for many years first? Why must it be hard?

Why so much bitterness towards television? TV is a forum in which to be seen by millions of people. If you can get on TV and then connect with those people, well.... hey, that's showbusiness for ya.
