What most people experience when they go on American Idol(before Paula and Simon left:

1. Enter the rehersal thinking you will actually win

2. Start singing like a dying animal and get cut off early by Simon

3. Get told you suck in a nice way by Paula

4. get called a dog by randy

5. get called absolute rubbish by simon

6. walk out swearing swearing and crying for some strange reason. you should have expected this

7. get blocked out by the little blue sign while all of america laughs at your failure and lack of talent

8. swear you will come back and/or prove the judges wrong
9. come back next year and repeat

When you eat dirt for the first time and leave your family to build a shack in the woods
