American Idol.

The everyday person gets the chance to shine. The unknown face becomes a household name is less than a year. It's just a trip to see that. Everytime each season ends...it makes me wonder, what if I had tried out? What if I auditioned and made a complete spectacle of myself? Now...I know that I can sing, but I'm sure that I wouldn't have made top 12. I'm not even sure if I would have received the ticket to Hollywood.

I can only imagine the sacrifice, hardship, and frustration it would take to even walk that path.

Congratulations Fantasia! A true talent...

Both were VERY talented...but there had to be one winner.

Don't persuade me to audition either guys...haha.
