Lyrics

He walked on the stage with the lights shining bright
He looked like a kid who was scared of the height
He danced like the wind and he dressed like prince
He raised up the mic, when he sang he made me wince

The crowd adored him thought he could do no wrong
But I was disgusted, he ruined my favourite song
The votes were all counted the announcement was made
He won with a landslide I closed my eyes and preyed

Hey there with the stars in your eyes
Hey there you can't see the big disguise

You'll live like a king and you'll drive fast cars
You'll play to the princes, you'll meet girls in high-class bars
They'll promise the world and deliver a taste
But those lights will fade and then shine on another face

Hey there with the stars in your eyes
Hey there you can't see the big surprise
Hey there with the stars in your eyes
Hey there you can't see the big disguise

	You're about the guitars Guitars are super on this. Good idea for a song, concerning the pop idol thing. "He ruined my favorite song", that's a great line. I know it didn't take long to put together, but all the great ones are done quickly. Great going AJ! Dave Check out my latest song called Googolplex Times Zero

	Great message for the various tv show contestants. The best ones rarely win; it's more about looks and personality. I really like the lyrics- you say it so well The contestants get their minute of fame, and next week someone else will take their place while they fade into obscurity. Love the vocals and guitars, too! Check out my latest song called Sweet Grace

GREAT to hear a song about this subject - I've missed that !(!) I hate (or being polite I should say 'like less') those tvshows...so this song means alot - as alot of People think as You /me/or something like it . In Sweden we have shows & school for young people who want to become famous/artists...I feel it discusting if I may say so but I know some actually DO get famous....but what about all the others??? Who are having to put up with the "mobbing" "judges" etc... Hope You do another on this topis : ) You have a very very nice voice...sounds like You have even more to it - like its not at its full potential yet - it can only get BEETTER : ) : ) : ) ThankYou
