Why I Love Project

There are a lot of reality shows out there that are "talent" competitions. Project Runway is not a talent competition, it is an art competition or a creative competition. Project gives us a glimpse into the creative process. How do they do it? What is their inspiration? What was running through their mind?

Don't you wish you could ask that of the creator of your favorite painting, poem, song, book, or photo? Or if a camera was on them while they were dreaming it up?

I wish this would catch on and there would be a musical spin-off or a literary spin-off. What if songwriters were given challenges like: make a commercial jingle for laundry soap, write a love song, write a death metal song, write a power ballad, etc. And instead of rotating models, they would rotate studio musicians that had different skill sets. At the end of each challenge, they would present the recording of their song.
