Alive with Clive TV Show Host, Clive Swersky, Believes That The Alive with Clive Top 20 Contenders Have Much More Talent Than Almost All Contestants On American Idol

To discover new music talent, many music fans are looking forward to the start of the next American Idol on Tuesday, January 13, 2009.  As most people know, each season -- after a laborious and sometimes cumbersome elimination process -- some outstanding performers are discovered on the show.  But Clive Swersky, host and producer of the popular and inspiring TV show known as Alive with Clive -- Turning Your Passion Into Profit! -- which is also known as The TV Show That Inspires You To Multiply Your Magnificence! and described at www.alivewithclive.tv, believes that the musicians eligible for a slot in The Alive with Clive Top 20 he has created have much more talent than almost all the contestants on American Idol.

The Alive with Clive Top 20 consists of musicians who have been interviewed on Alive with Clive and have received enough votes to be in The Alive with Clive Top 20.  To fulfill on a mission outlined at www.synergisticphilanthrocapitalism.com that is in total alignment with that of (RED)WIRE, the online digital music service designed to help eliminate AIDS in Africa, which was launched on December 1, 2008, World AIDS Day, and described at http://red.msn.com and http://www.redwire.com, one song from each musician who ends up in The Alive with Clive Top 20 on the day voting ends will be included on a compilation CD (or downloadable version) to be sold to raise at least a billion dollars for people suffering from AIDS in South Africa.

"Millions of people are going to spend a lot of time watching American Idol in the weeks ahead to see who will be the next Daughtry, Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood or David Cook," says Clive, "but to see, in one place and at one time, several extraordinarily talented musicians who have already released CDs and who, in my opinion, easily outshine almost all contestants on American Idol, they need simply go to The Alive with Clive TV Channel on YouTube at www.youtube.com/high5clive and they'll be able to pretend they're Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul or Randy Jackson, judge the musicians and post their comments about the video clips of all the top contenders for a slot in The Alive with Clive Top 20."

At the moment, the top three slots in The Alive with Clive Top 20 are held by Anthony Melillo, who recently released his debut CD, Just Gettin' Started, Irena Makarchuk, founder of Harmony4Kidz, and Joe Venice.  Others featuring prominently in The Alive with Clive Top 20 include Cassandra Kubinski, Kylie Edmond and Jeneen Terrana.

Voting for musicians to be in The Alive with Clive Top 20 takes place by first visiting http://alivewithclive.tv/awctop20.html.
