Wannabe...who?

I watched American Idol after babysitting while doing my homework, and I laughed to myself about the judge's comments.  They kept telling contestant after contestant to 'be themselves like they were at auditions'.  There are so many things wrong with this statement.  First of all, I doubt anyone was 'themselves' trying out for American Idol, they were just trying to make the cut.  I don't know if I could handle that criticism.  What happens when you finally let down a facade and act the way you want to act, only to be told that it seems 'all fake', when it's really the real you?  I'm not just talking about on the show either.  Like, when someone is called a 'wannabe', but all they really want to be is themselves.  Can they ever succeed as themselves?  What if they can't?  Should they lie, agree that they were posing, and go back to the facade.  Or should they be a real 'poser'.  And if you're called a 'wannabe' when you aren't trying to be anyone...how can you be a want to be when you only want to be yourself?  Do I make no sense?  Am I rambling?  Yes, I am.  I've had a long day, and it's almost midnight when I'm writing this, so nothing coherent will come of this.  Just ramblings.  

On a less poetic, rambling note there is one good thing I am looking forward to this week.  One of my guy friends wants to try out a different hairstyle and is going to let me style it.  It's a stupid thing to be happy about, but like the hairstyle he wants is going to be REALLY fun to do and will look way better than his current haircut.  I just hope I can make it look the way we want it to look-- like spiked and messy.  I've never straightened hair other than my own, and none as short as his, so that should be interesting, too.  Straighteners and gel, yay!
