2. oh. okay. I'll stay on top of this. Fox had a deal on Idol vote fraud.
can you believe it? Fox really had a piece on discussing whether or not American Idol was returning fraudulent results.

NEVER MIND OUR F*CKING PRESIDENT is in WH on fraudulent basis and they are actively laying groundwork for massive voter fraud in Nov. 04.

Nice Fox can keep it all in perspective for the United Shoppers of Consumerica

3. But don't ruin for those on the Left Coast
I would add a *spolier* to you're subject if and when you find out.

6. thanks. figured so...now I can tell my wife and save her time
she is sold on that show. I watched until Hudson was voted off. then I knew for sure it was crap and said screw it.

I watched Who Wants to Be a Millionaire at the very beginning til they played it every day.

I liked Apprentice. Other than that...not a reality tv guy

Shows I still have never watchd:

Survivor
FearFactor
NONE of the Marriage/Bachelor/etc genre
The Mole
Great Race
etc, etc.

House Hunter, Iron Chef, Designer's Challenge and CSPAN are my kind of reality TV

7. Speaking of CSPAN
General Wesley Clark will be on Washington Journal tomorrow morning, I believe it's either 9 or 9:30 a.m.

Sorry for the political post... Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

8. You should try Survivor and the Amazing Race (starts July 6)
Those are two winners.

I don't personally care for the others, and don't usually like Idol except I luv Fantasia. Of all the Idols EVER, she's the one I would go see in concert.

9. Amazing Race is awesome
I don't care for Survivor, too much drama. AR is just intense and exciting.

Prediction: Fantasia won't make it, even though she's more talented.

10. I think it's going to be a tight race between Diana and Fantasia
and I suspect if Diana wins the thing, there will be cries of racism. I like them both, but I think Diana is a more well-rounded singer - better range, better tone, more versatile. Now when it comes to doing soul music - Aretha, Tina - Fantasia is the STAR! A rare gem, she will certainly go on to stardom. Her quirky sound is both her biggest strength and her biggest weakness (weakness in a contest like AI). IMHO

11. really? by well-rounded do you mean....oh never mind.
I just think the top 5 should be in the following order:

1. LaToya London
2. Fantasia Barino
3. George Huff
4. Diana Digarmo
5. Jennifer Hudson

That's just my take. Redhair boy had no business even being in top 10. The others in top 12 I don't really care about.

14. I totally agree with you about the redhead
When the other John (Peter Lewis, I think) got voted off, I only watched half-heartedly after that. He was my favorite. LOVED his rendition of "Little Less Conversation." I really like Jennifer Hudson too. Disappointing to see your favorites get the boot.

LaToya is very talented, but I felt she came off too mature for the audience - she sort of reminded me of Toni Braxton. I think people wanted to vote for her, but she just didn't spice it up enough. When she did (Gloria Estefan number and the country number, surprising enough!) she was great! But you could tell her preference was to do more adult contemporary types of songs. I think she would have been miserable had she won. I think she'll go on to success as well as some of the others.
