I would have to agree that it has had an impact on music but not as significant as one might think. A few very good voices came out of it but without the show they would not have made it. I suppose that would be an argument for the show but talent has a way of breaking through without the help of 40 million or so people watching you. Bono has said U2 would never have made it today the way the music biz is run. Notice the horribly repetative radio stations? It is about money. Plain and simple. American Idol gets great ratings and "discovers" a star. The greatest musical talents of the last 2 generations did not have the luxury of American Idol. The music is what made them great, not a show. I have a feeling American Idol will fade away in a few years. I wont miss it.
