Idol casting is no rock'n'roll

It is very embarrassing, but I have to admit, I got a little addicted to that Earth thing called Television. Even though the technology is very primitive, the addictive nature of this phenomenon is very advanced. Since I am a space rock musician I was very interested when I heard there were shows where the TV makers were looking for new rock'n'roll showbiz talent. So-called idol shows or casting shows - as they are called in the German hemisphere - are blossoming. Every time I turn on the TV, I get to see those Earthling kids singing and dancing and trying to become a teenage idol or a super star. The weird thing though is they are always trying to please everbody and the songs they are singing are extremely boring. Therefore I wonder have they or have I got the concept of rock'n'roll totally wrong? When my band came to Earth a lot of people told us that rock stars don't behave and that everybody hates them. So we decided to follow the path of becoming rock stars, but when I watch TV, our competitors seem to do exactly the opposite. They are nice and clean. Maybe my group, the Blues Horror Brigade, has to become tidy and neat soon or otherwise we will never be stars on Earth and have to return to the stars.
