I had a hard time ruling out America's Next Top Model, as well

So after watching nearly two hours of American Idol on television tonight, I have come to two conclusions:

1) I am going to throw out our antenna, because there is no reason anyone should ever watch television, and
2) I could totally be on American Idol.

Seriously, each passing year when they truck out hundreds more people to audition for this show, the standard necessary to pass the first round is significantly lower than the year before. I mean, you should have heard some of these people who made it. I can sing that well. Which is why, in a couple of years, after I get some formal voice training, and the bar has been lowered even more, and Simon is just flat out telling all the bad singers that they don't deserve to live and should kill themselves (he gets more sarcastic and mean every year), I'm totally auditioning.

Of course, this may be in conflict with my other dream, which is to be a member of the Blue Man Group. I could totally be a Blue Man. Sure, I would need to become a more reliable drummer, and probably get into better shape than I am currently in, but I don't see how they could possibly turn me down after that. So the real problem is, which one do I go for, American Idol or Blue Man Group? Because we all know that you can only pursue one dream at a time. Well, there is the whole "becoming a professional trombonist" thing, too. Maybe you can pursue two dreams at a time? But definitely not three. So one of these has to go, and seeing as I have almost six years of higher education invested in my trombone dream, I should probably nix one of the other two.

Here's where you come in, my loyal base of readers. I need advice. Help me choose between becoming the next American Idol, or the next Blue Man. Cast your vote. I'll present a list of pros and cons of each. Oh, and for the sake of voting, let's just assume that I could easily achieve either one of these, so don't vote for one just because it seems more likely that I could do it. Go with your instinct. Which would you rather see me do, for whatever reason? I'm counting on you.

American Idol:

Pros:
-Get to basically sing karaoke, one of my great loves, except instead of a smoky room full of drunk people, I would be singing to a national television audience.
-Promise of a record contract when I undoubtedly win, leading to possible fame, fortune, and eventual VH1 Behind The Music documentary feature.
-Possibility of appearing on national television.

Cons:
-Being famous might not agree with me. Maybe I would rather blend in with the crowd, you know, like being a Blue Man.
-As a musician, associating myself with American Idol would probably blacklist me from any serious musical pursuits afterwards. Auditioning for a professional orchestra would be sort of like running for Congress as a Communist in the 1950s.
-Possibility of appearing on national television.

Blue Man Group:

Pros:
-Being able to combine two things, drumming and acting, which I have always loved.
-Being part of a rogue troupe of players all looking exactly alike in a hip new show.
-Getting to cover myself in blue paint.

Cons:
-I would have to get into shape, which would kind of conflict with my inherently lazy lifestyle.
-Possibility of being forced to catch 50 marshmallows in my mouth at one time.
-Having to cover myself in blue paint.

Okay, that's the info, now get to voting (by leaving a comment, of course)!
