American Idol Miami: It's
early Monday morning, and on the north side of AmericanAirlines Arena
is a densely packed crowd of thousands of people who truly believe they
have exceptional musical talent. They've been herded between barricades,
where they've been waiting patiently in the humid darkness, some of them
for hours, not unlike cattle, except that instead of mooing, every minute
or so somebody deep in the sweating mass belts out a random snippet of
a song such as Unchained Melody, as if this person simply cannot
hold his or her talent inside any longer without exploding in a blinding
fireball of musical excellence. . . .
