OK, I posted a while back that I felt old because reality shows shunned me. But now, it seems some of them have tweaked their rules.

According to a story on msnbc, American Idol now says "You have to be born between August 16, 1976, and August 15, 1989."

So I now make the cut by *one* day. And that means that my two friends that are closest in age to me,

spandita and

automat76 are out of luck. How odd.

Do you think the AI producers read my LJ? :-)

(I'd still rather be on The Amazing Race. Or Jeopardy.)

I totally didn't know you sang.

Oh no, I don't. I'm just obsessed with the possibility.

I mean, I *can* sing, passably. But I haven't sung in front of anyone since high school musicals.

Yea, me either. Hence me being a total re-liver and joining a musical troupe.

you're mad. :-) i wonder, then, if AI is enforcing the star-trend that "if you're not it by 30, then you won't be," actually, i'm surprised that the age range goes as high as that -- i figured it would be more in the 18-25 arena...

Last year their cutoff was 27. This year it's barely 28/29. I think they're just realizing that their viewership is aging.
