They certainly do a great job in the commercial aspect. Last night they had that trio of Italian guys and they seemed pretty much out of place for that venue. I think the people behind have IDOL also have a record label and if the trio were signed by the label it would be a huge introduction to their American market by having their trio debut in front of 30 million people.
FORD and Coke get in their pretty good as well. I'm sure FORD supplies them with whatever vehicles they need and they used to give cars to the finalists. Coke has their brand sitting on the judges desk and that must be a paid product placement.
The Men here are getting laughed at for watching Idol because some perceive it to be a show for little girls but it's also a business marketing machine. Advertising, product placement, monetization, talent recruitment, merchandising and so on. It only takes a second to realize those are the very same qualities valued so highly in the industry this board is based on.
One way to improve yourself is to analyze someone that is more successful and then apply that knowledge to yourself.
