This article is about American Idol contestant Paul McDonald, who spent $4,500 dollars on a custom made "Nudie suit." Paul did make it into the final 13. His look was inspired by people of the 60s and 70s like Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Gene Autry, Porter Wagoner, Roy Rogers & Dale Evans, John Lennon, Glenn Campbell, Elton John and George Jones. Apparently, Paul isn't the only modern musician to be wearing these crazy outfits. Mike Mills is also wearing these Nudie suits. All idol contestants are warned that they need to stand out. Paul is definitely standing out.
So yeah, it's cool that Paul's standing out and all, but I think it's ridiculous that he had to spend $4,500 to do it. I think he should stand out because of his talent, not his wardrobe. American Idol is a SINGING competition, not a fashion show. It also makes me mad because I always feel like money like that could go to a way better cause. Every American in this country, on average, is more than $50,000 in debt, yet we spend money on things like $4,500 on suits? I think this is preposterous. Paul was saying that he was happy to be getting a lot of publicity, because apparently publicity=votes, but I will not be voting for Paul.
