[one-time-i-dreamt]

Me and my older sister were at a singing competition and there were these ginger triplets there and one of them threw spaghetti at me. The only reason he was caught was because he was posting about it on his Tumblr blog

supernatural fanfic idea

So, we all know that Jensen Ackles can sing, and I don't think that supernatural used it fully to their advantage and I also think that there aren't enough fanfics about this so here is my idea

This can be set at any point prior to revealing Chuck to be God btw

In my head this is a filler type episode. The boys, Cas and depending what season it is; Bobby, Charlie, Kevin, Claire, Jody etc, honestly, I could see so many people in this role that I couldn't choose, are on a seemingly simple case. On this case, for whatever reason, rather than going undercover as FBI or other law enforcement, they have to go undercover on a singing show. When they arrive, they don't realise this, however, Sam quickly works it out and before Dean can say they are FBI or whatever, Sam interrupts and says that his brother is interested in auditioning. Dean tries to deny it, before Sam interjects, saying that his brother is just modest but he's a great singer and plays the guitar. Eventually the producer gives them the info for the audition and they leave. Both of the boys' expressions when talking to the producer and afterwards, would be hilarious

Dean: Sam I can't even sing

Sam: Yes, you can. You do karaoke all the time

Dean: Karaoke doesn't count!

Cas: Karaoke doesn't count?

Dean: Sam has signed me up for the competition!

Sam: *sigh* You'll be fine Dean

Now the important thing for this is that everyone in the competition is assigned the song that they are going to sing. Of course, Dean won't say what song he's been assigned cause he's feeling petty

When it's time for the competition Dean's visibly nervous and only Cas is able to calm whilst Sam and whoever else is there just exchange looks

Sam, Cas and whoever make their way to their seats to watch Dean and this convo or something similar takes place:

Other person: So, can Dean actually sing?

Sam: Yeah, he used to sing me to sleep all the time

Other person: There's a big difference between a lullaby and singing on stage

Cas: Dean used to sing on the street to earn money. He was rather successful (he knows this from when he gripped Dean tight and raised him from perdition)

Other person: If you're sure

When Dean goes on stage it's obvious he's trying to appear more confident than he actually is. Then he starts singing, gaining confidence with every note

He sings Me vs Me (Fightin' Man Blues) by Aventhis because a) I think Jensen's voice would work amazingly with this and b) it is exactly the sort of thing that Chuck would do

He ends up getting a standing ovation and wins the competition. When they finish whatever the case is, he gets an offer to become a singer professionally, produce and write his own songs, which as much as he wants to accept, Dean has to turn it down because someone has to stop the latest apocalypse

When they leave, despite them all hearing the offer and seeing how happy it made Dean, none of them bring it up because, no matter how much he tried to hide it, they also saw how much it hurt Dean to turn it down

It's not until much later, after they've worked out Chuck's true intentions, that they realise how he interfered in the song selection of the competition. This revelation isn't even a big one, nor does it occur at a big moment. It happens when Jack somehow finds a video of Dean's performance online, makes some off handed comments about how you could really hear the emotions in his voice, whilst he tries to convince Dean to perform for him. These comments cause Dean, Sam and Cas to exchange looks as they come to the same realisation. That even the small cases, the fun ones, that every aspect of their lives both good and bad, was orchestrated by Chuck. That nothing was ever truly theirs

Of course, Dean does end up playing for Jack. Cas and his son Jack deserves happiness, even whilst the revelation he unintentionally caused is making the weight on his shoulders heavier. Even when he's struggling to breath and all he wants to do is cry, vomit, scream and curl up into a ball. All he can think about, the only thing repeating in his head is that nothing was ever truly his. That not even one of his few healthy outlets to the insanity that is his life, was truly his

Here's the Hebrew at the end of the song in Hebrew, English, and using my PSP phonetic system:

Judges or Distractions

I've been trying to think about why American Idol has so many successful contestants, but a show like The Voice, which arguably has the same hype, has none and I think I've found the reason.

The judges panel.

Idol's panel consisted of a behind the scenes music executive, two former performers who had moved on to more behind the scenes work, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul. The Voice opened its doors with a stacked panel of front of camera celebrities, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Agulilera, and Ceelo Green and a few twists. Judges weren't just judges they were coaches, contestants were chosen solely based on their vocal abilities, no more Sanjaya's or William Hung's just talented singers hoping for their chance at a recording contract.

On Idol, Jackson and Abdul had moved from the spotlight. The former became a producer, the latter choreography. Cowell was a popular producer. While The Voices judges were coming off album releases and hit singles. You knew who they were and were tuning in to see them. Whereas on American Idol, you'd heard of them but not in a while, so you wanted to see what they were up to and got distracted by the singing.

American Idol advertised the singers and the competition. The Voice is the opposite, every commercial focuses on the judges. Come see this famous person do this thing. Come see the bromance between Blake and Adam. Come see Christina Aguilera and Ceelo Green be subject to the Bladam's antics.

Idol viewers had no choice but to tune in and pay attention to the singers. Even when the judges' quirks became drinking game worthy, they were still never a distraction.

The voice has had 24 seasons. 24 ended a few weeks ago, and they are advertising season 25 now. And I have no idea who won. I have never heard of any of the winners from any season. Not a song, not a Good Morning America interview, nothing! Kelly Clarkson won in 2002. I remember the radio DJ announcing the new song from the winner of American Idol. Since U Been Gone sounded and I was struck. Jennifer Hundson placed 7th on her season, and she's an EGOT, both have served as coaches on The Voice. Carrie Underwood is the most awarded country singer.

I say all of this as a person who does not watch either show, yet I know so much about winners and runnerups of American Idol. I watched one season of Idol (S6) because a girl from my area was on the show, and the whole county was rooting and voting for her. Once she was eliminated, I stopped watching, but not before, of course, casting a few joke votes for Sanjaya. The Voice I've seen absolutely nothing of.

Supporting my theory is that once Cowell, Jackson, and Abdul left the show and were replaced with current celebrity judges, my knowledge of the winners and losers has gone to zilch. Scott McCreary and Phillip Phillips were the last winners I've ever heard music from. Now, all the ads focus on the celebrity judges. Occasionally, a contestant will slip through, but it's never of them singing just their heartfelt story.
