I can't stand the show much-- maybe for the same reasons some folks like it: so many bad singers who think they're so great and someone like Simon Cullow has to take them down a notch. Hey, he's cruel, but he's to the point. I'd rather watch Star Search-- or even, the now canceled This Is Your Big Break.

That's what I was saying: the people must really be buying into the fluffy drama and all that-- party people with no talent who get humbled by a cranky Brit. But it's just not my cup of tea. It's a little different seeing "Star Search" hosted by Arsenio Hall instead of Ed McMahon, but I like it. I also miss This Is Your Big Break-- what's his name of Kidd and Play hosted it. I even considered turning in a tape.

I am somewhat hooked on this too. Primarily for the bad singers as I have never laughed my ass off so much as with that one guy tried to sing the Star Spangled Banner and didn't even know the words. Anyway, I have stayed watching it even though the best part is over. I was PISSED that America passed up on Kimberly. She was my pick for the whole think as I thought she rocked.

The bad ones were DEFINATELY my favorite part of this process. Now I don't really care as much, but I'll watch while I surf or something.

I don't know the names, so I'll say the three will be: The big black guy, The chick who sang "You light up my light" and the skinny kid with the glasses. The two winners will be big black guy and the chick. (I really am only watching them while I do other stuff, so I don't really know all of the drama and personal stuff.)

Wow. Someone had the guts to sing the most hated song in America? "You Light Up My Life", while being the most chart successfull song of all time (most weeks at #1 and at the top of the Billboard charts), it is the top tune-out song, beating "Feelings" (Morris Alpert).

You people are way too hooked on this. I just can't watch the show. But apparently people just love this crap and so it keeps making the news. This was kinda interesting.. they kicked Frenchie Davis off the show because she'd done some porn video when she was 18. What's your opinion? I don't know if there's a precedence for this for young pop stars, but it's pretty common knowledge that many Hollywood celebrities have stuff of them naked somewhere in their past..
