It's All Good

Bye bye Stephanie.

Now you have the opportunity of moving onward with a musical career since you have shaken the bonds of the dadaistic American Idol. It provided what you needed to make a go of it: face time. You should be thankful for that.

On to other matters....

I see websites this morning talking about the little girl groupie support for Sanjaya keeping him bolstered in the competition. Ahem, I think I already mentioned that back around Feb 28?? Bandwagons take a while to fill.

The bottom anything, 2, 3 or 4 or whatever doesn't really matter week to week unless it becomes a pattern. Trends take place over time, not in just one showing. Chris R. may not be in the bottom group next week. He will again eventually, though, especially when it's time to go.

I like to go to Google, click on News and type in American Idol. You can see hundreds of links to click on, including betting sites and blogs. Every week there are gambling sites offering odds on which participant will be leaving.

You know you've made it big in this country when you are the focus of gambling sites.

Is it me, or does pop culture just seem to get sillier and sillier year over year??

Another thought just occurred to me. I wonder how many of the 30 million plus American Idol voters every week refuse to go to the November polls claiming that their one vote doesn't make any difference. Hmmm?

I can't stand it!! What is wrong with America - that they think enough of Sanjaya that he is still on the show. Especially after his last performance. It was terrible!!! It was quite comical watching the little girl get all emotional. I bet there are many people seen crying on next weeks show just so they can been seen on national tv.

I think it's rigged to a certain extent, to tell you the truth. Remember, every good show has to have an intriguing story or it won't do well in the ratings. The producers know this.
