Yes, I know there’s important things going on the world and this is not news of major consequence, but I don’t care. Besides, it’s culturally significant in the way the internet is finding new ways to influence the culture and move against the intentions of the media giants. Or I can rationalize posting this story under that cover story.

Deciding I was culturally deprived by not ponying up to the bar and ordering a big stinking American glass of vapid American Idol cola, I finally gave in and started watching it this year. It’s pretty fun.

And I actually like Scott. He’s edgier and funkier than all the other contestants. He’s the only one who you wouldn’t expect to be singing on a cruise or in the band at your parents fiftieth wedding anniversary. He’s dark, like a singing serial killer or something. I’m happy every week he makes the cut.

Constantine got really lame when he started making smokey faces to the camera. He started thinking he was Fabio or something. Good riddance.

And the worst singer of the lot has always been the wee Russian lad with the blowhole. Ugh. He’s a back up singer on the Tony Orlando and Dawn Variety Hour. The worst.

BTW, Vonzell will win, especially since Carrie started sucking.

I knew something was up when Anwar was voted off. He and Carrie should have been the last two standing.

Scott looks like a serial killer, the guy is seriously weird.

As a fan of this show, I find myself agreeing with the voting public most of the time. Scott is still around because -- for all his weaknesses -- he is edgier and sings from the heart. Also, voters can identify with the guy who is overweight, un-glamorous and the opposite of slick.

Constantine had to go because there are two male rockers and Bo Bice is clearly better.

Vonzell looks better than she sounds. Bo should win. Carrie will be runner up.

I wondered who the heck was voting for Scott. I sort of half-watch the show, while FReeping on the couch with the laptop, while my wife watches it.

>>He’s dark, like a singing serial killer or something.

LOL, that's a pretty good summation.

I think pre-teen girls are keeping Anthony in the game. All the other males are too "threatening".

Can't believe I'm chiming in on this, but I think Carrie and Anthony are the only ones with true vocals. Bo's voice sucks! Vonzell is always pitchy.

But the best line in the piece was about Scott... "He’s dark, like a singing serial killer or something." No kidding!

This is the only reality show I got hooked on. I really like Bo. I am a big Classic Rock and Metal fan. It is refreshing to have a candidate who is singing music I like. I do like some country as well so Carrie is also a refreshing candidate. But I will agree with you that Vonzell has stepped it up big time. I would not be disappointed if she went to the finals. I do want Bo to win though.

WHOA! When I first saw this guy, I labelled him as "Most Likely To Become An Axe Murderer." Glad someone else is creeped out by this guy!

Scott brings some much needed edge to this show and he can sing. He turned his life around with the help of his church and maybe that's considered a strike against him in Hollyweird. But Scott could reach kids who identify with being a less than perfect human being struggling to do the right thing.

Carrie usually dresses for the Lawrence Welk show but when the producers try to tart her up she looks miserable. Good for her but they can't turn her into a pop princess. No offense to Vonzell but she looks and moves like a pre-op drag queen. The rest I can't remember.

LOL!

We aren't sorry Scott keeps hanging on either because he's atypical and we're from the Cleveland area too. The only thing that bugs me about him is the street slang speaking inflections and mannerisms - it's not extremely overt gangsta but I wish he'd drop it anyway.

The fix is in, Bo Bice is guaranteed to win. Bet on it.

I like Scott as well. When Scott sings, his puts his life experiences, especially the pain into his songs.

He is the only one who is emotionally connected to the songs that he sings and I really respond to that.

I also like Anthony and in my opinion, he is the second best singer there. First is Carrie.

Why don't you get silent-jonny to put you on the ping list for the live thread. It's alot of fun.
