Then I guess the rason they don't pick potential big stars is because they have such low viewership. The numbers just aren't there to give them a really good indication of who has the best potential. With only a sliver voting, you get that sliver's opinion, but it may not be the best opinion!

Brilliant, Netizen. I mean it -- not joking. I think you're right. Not only that, but you've stated in very clear terms why we should never trust polls of any kind. Again, I'm serious.

Thanks, but its just common sense and I don't know why NS hasn't figured that out. They need to get their viewership up. That will also give their potential stars more exposure before they hit recording studios. I this really helped Kelly, Clay, Carrie and the others to varying degrees.

Do they get guest stars as well?

You know, the more I think about it, the more I think Dolly Parton or some other big name ought to look into getting that show off of cable and onto regular tv.

Did Garth Brooks retire and if so, do you know why? Maybe he could get that show back on track. They could easily have a successful show, if they just make a few changes. jmo

You're absolutely, 100% right about those polls, too!

PS: If they get NS off cable and onto regular tv, they need to get it on FOX. If it winds up on another network it could potentially run opposite AI and that would be disatrous to both shows. Splitting their viewership could ruin both by lowering the viewerships to the point that they don't get enough to get good indicators again.

shoot, if FOX put NS on M/T and AI on W/Th, they'd about kill the other networks! lol

Ace Young Would Step In Front Of A Moving Train For Chris Daughtry

Ryan Seacrest called Ace Young and Chris Daughtry the Matt Damon and Ben Affleck of this year’s American Idol, and Ace young elaborated on his relationship with Chris. Ace told reporters, “Chris and I, we have a lot in common and he’s a very good man. He’s what you want in a marriage as far as very direct and loyal guy. And Dianna is very lucky to have him and she knows that and she’s adorable. And he and I really clicked. We clicked from the beginning just because we kind of have the same upbringing. We’re big on family; we’re big on people. And he, just like me, can’t wait to get to the fan base. I mean, I can’t wait to shake hands with my fans and give them hugs and say thank you for getting me to number seven. But any day of the week I’d step in front of a moving train for that guy.”

In addition to family and friends, Ace Young also had glowing words of praise for his fan base, The High Rollers. Ace expressed his appreciation for a generous charitable gift, saying “The High Rollers did something really amazing. They raised $2000 for me last week and they donated it to the Denver Children’s Hospital in my name so that they could put that towards whatever they felt necessary. And it’s just amazing that they know me; they know that I go there every year for Christmas and I don’t even ask for presents on Christmas because after I’m done singing there for five or seven hours, whatever it is, room to room, I’m good to go.”
