I’m so tired of the hoopla surrounding this talent show . . . and that’s all it is . . . our local Fox station devotes at least 5 minutes of newtime to promos and results of this madness every day. Who cares who wins? It seems if you can hold a scream for the longest and go up and down in the scale 50 times per second, you might win.

There doesn’t seem to be anybody who actually sings at a mild level so you can actually hear each word.

And this American Idol mentality has affected the way people think about politics too . . . who’s the best looking, who’s taller, etc. Abraham Lincoln never would have been elected nowadays.

Have you even watched the show this season?

I became a reluctant fan...the chemistry between the judges this season is excellent (though they do sugar-coat their feedback at times), and the majority of contestants really show some talent; the best this season do anything BUT screetch or scream.

Not trying to make you a fan, but the brush you've painted with is WAY too broad.
