In search of a song...

Simon Cowell commented to one of the American Idol participant that she performed a song that didnt represent her personality. The song represented someone else and not 'her' that they had seen in the last couple of weeks.

But what caught my attention was the participants immediate well articulated response to his comment. She said ' Am not sure why I should just portray one single personality. I embodify very distinct pieces of varied personalities that come into play in different situations. Which one should i  pick for American Idol?  I dont think i need to pick one of them to represent me here...rather go with a mix!' 

So true. We all do.... play different roles and personifies as the script demands. As a sibling, spouse, colleague, lover, client, boss, or as a stranger who picks up a conversation while in metro, we all exude multiple layers of personlaities. I have not come across a single song that can personify this myriad collage of human ego and alter egos.

The mud sling on Tiger Woods brand representation or the questionable 'Sweat Equity' of Ms. Pushkar that consumed tons of brazilain rain forest pulp and peaked traffic on global fibre-optic networks, i guess was all about millions of Simons' quest for a singular persona in these tabliod victims thats palatable for public consumption.
