Dear faithful readers(all two of you)....for your reading pleasure....a snippet regarding the latest American Idol season
The judges' harsh assessments also were defended by Geffen Records chairman Ron Fair, who is about to take on a Cowell-like role on an upcoming talent show for the CW network, "Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll."
"In order to have a reputation and continue in a healthy manner in this business, you have to tell people `no' all day long," he said. "I'm telling people 'I'm not going to sign you, that song is not a hit' ... And there's no gracious or wonderful way to tell somebody, whose hopes and dreams are on the line: `no.'"
BULL
Would you like me to demonstrate?
No I'm sorry ...but you are not what we had in mind.
No I'm sorry...we are looking for a specific type
No I'm sorry...you would be better suited for (A, B C or D)
No I'm sorry....have you considered (A, B, C or D)
No I'm sorry...best of luck to you
HONESTLY. Get some decency cojones people. It is not that hard to say NO and be polite at the same time.
Perchance said decency deficient individuals should get their collective derrieres to the South for a 6 week Parris Island type training in the ART of saying "no" with grace. And I say this with all modesty aside,we are the penultimate experts in the polite "notachanceinhell" rebuttal arena.
You may be rebuffed. You may be bewildered. But you will leave with your dignity

I think the greater travesty is that no one before in these people's lives had the decency to tell them no. No sweetie, you would not make it on American Idol. No love, don't try out because your voice makes my ears bleed. No honey, you really aren't a fantastic singer, please stop embarrassing yourself!
Some of those people really believe they have talent- and it's because no one in their lives was ever kind enough to be honest.
That said, Simon is an ass.
