Each season ends the same way: with confetti, tears, a lousy song and an open invitation to replace the person supposedly being celebrated right then and there. Sparks been coherent enough at the time to notice it, should have been clear: even before the show had managed to do a single thing with the current Idol, it was already thinking about finding the next one. Still, it’s been just under three months since Sparks’ coronation, and her crown hadn’t even had enough time to warm up to her body temperature before Seacrest announced that auditions would be starting up again soon.
She’s probably too busy with the “Idol” concert tour (this week: the Midwest!) and what are presumably wheels in motion for her debut album. (Feel free to visit the show’s official Web site for confirmation.) Not that Sparks has a lot of time to feel like she’s already in the process of being replaced. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because she not only competed on the last season of “Idol,” she actually won. There’s one more person who might ask for the same: Jordin Sparks. Except for those for whom acting like an idiot to earn three seconds on television is a laudable goal in itself, they all want the same thing: to win “Idol” and become a priority for 19 Entertainment, the management company behind the show.
If the past is any indication, tens of thousands of wannabes, gonnabes and don’t-get-your-hopes-up-bes will assemble wherever pied piper Ryan Seacrest and his magical hair surface.
