I mean, it's also a reality show about young people singing cover songs.</p> I think that the possible fault in Wilson’s movie analogy is a question of whether American Idol should be covered as a television or as pop music.

To extend the arguemnt, No one gave the Coens shit for the fact that "No Country For Old Men" was the work of a few dozen professionals on set/location every day. However, any time a pop song with serveral authors' voices behind it comes up, there's an underlying preumption of fakeness that it seems like you have to contend with before actually discussing the work.</P> <P>ASIDE:I tried writing about this when I was here on Monday but I fucked it up royally. My main point was: "Why even designate guilty pleasures? Enjoyment is enjoyment." Somehow this turned into a clusterfuck involving Donna Harraway, The Killers, Kelly Clarkson, Lightning Bolt, and Southland Tales.</P> I like Wilson’s point about the double standard with movies.
