I love AI. I think all parents should love it.

Imagine, something that is fun, rewarding, gives them their needed attention, and isn't about sex, or drugs.

Of course, being an un-requieted singer, I am prejudiced.

american idol isn't about sex just like the 2nd amendment isn't about an individuals right to bear arms...

Me to, but I'm getting nauseated with all the cheap, childish slams at Simon. Listening to that little twit of a host trying to get one up on Simon is like watching a "B" version of the Jerry Springer show, if such a thing is possible. It's trailer park garbage.

i went to a Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken a couple years ago. There were quite a few young kids with their parents there. I'm in my 40s and I do enjoy the show, mainly, because of the music that's chosen. Music I grew up to, which imo, is a lot better than the crap out there today, i.e., rap music.
It's good to see kids getting exposed to other music besides rap, and here's something that both kids and parents can enjoy.

We watch it as a family. I DO wish they'd stop doing the Victoria Secret ads during the show, however.
