This is a Standards Night I wrote last year based on American Idol.  We called it "Are you the next American Idol?" I just took all the contestants names on the show and changed them to fit topics of the standards in For the Strength of Youth pamphlet. For example Ace Young was changed to Ace "I'm Too Young" and he talked about dating.  Taylor "Questionable Flicks" Hicks who talked about compromising when choosing what movies to see....etc...etc.... 

There were 10 or 12 different contestants and each one would explain their behavior and if it was good we had people who resembled Simon, Paula and Randy and each one of them would respond if it was a good choice or a "horrible choice."  The script is written in true to form comments from all of them. 
 

We also got the entire crowd involved by making the posters ahead of time and assigning sections of the crowd to scream and yell for the contestant they were assigned.  We even played the American Idol theme song each time a contestant came out and had the spotlights swirling around...lots of fun!  I think you could adjust the names to any of the contestants, even ones that are going to be doing this season.  Jechelle says, "if anyone needs more details than what I already gave you, let me know and I can type them up.  Anyone can e-mail me and request information. My only request is to hear from anyone who tried it or made any improvements or did an updated one for this year's show...not too much to ask for the two months it took me to write it all....of course with help from beyond!!!"  (Click here to e-mail her)
