American Idol has changed the music industry

American Idol has been know as one of the most populars shows on television.  Not only is it an entertaining show, once the show is over you can still follow your favorite artist for years to come.  Look at Kelly Clarkson, she won American Idol 10 years ago and her career is still going strong with 5 albums, and multiple grammys. 

Now with a show like American Idol,l it is allowing artists to be seen not in an easier way, but in a different way.  I don't say easier because ones journey on idol can be just as tough than trying to make it in the business the old fashion way.  Now because of idol many other TV shows have been created such as X Factor, The Voice, and the Singoff, and starving artist are having so many different way of making it big.  With all of these different music competitions it is opening so many doors for singers.

The most recent winner Scotty Mccreery was an average high school kid playing baseball, and singing country music around town at local festivals.  He audition for idol just for fun to see how far he could make it and he ended up winning the whole show!  Not only does Idol open doors it also allows to find hidden talents.  Scotty wasn't living out in Nashville trying to become a singer, he was just a high schooler living his live as any high schooler should.  Idol has allowed him to make music part of his life forever. Now his debut album is platinum and he is currently on tour with Brad Paisley and The Band Perry.  May his career be a long and Successful one.

American Idol one of the greatest talent shows in the world has allowed many artist to be seen that wouldn't have been found otherwise.  May more talents be found in the years to come!
