What I don't get ... don't these people have friends and family that say, "honey, I love you but you go up to that audition they're gonna laugh your a** off the stage."
Hell, I'm tone deaf and can tell when someone sucks ...
I dunno, guess it's good in a way, there's a lot of them who would probably spend their lives thinking "I coulda been a STAR," and with Simon saying, "Hopelessly dreadful," maybe their feet will come down to earth and they'll get their sh*t together.
