Oh, please! This young woman, Kristy Lee Cook, sang “God Bless the USA” previously and stayed in the competition. She has a great chance of a career in country music. The showcase of American Idol even benefits the *losers*.
We began watching the show this season because we couldn’t stand watching the FNC news commentary shows on at the sme time. We do not vote. Young people, who are the market for new pop singers, do vote. People are sent home because they had the lowest number of votes, not no votes or negative votes. This show is a brilliant way for the music industry to find and market new singers while making a profit off the search process. That is all it is.
That said, I am a born and bred Northerner who appreciates the so-called Southern culture. I especially like the accent. Elitists do not. I have been told often, when I have said that I love the sound of a southern accent, that it sounds *uneducated*. I have no idea how these people manage to listen to Bubba or Snakehead, if they dislike the sound of southern speech.
“...I am a born and bred Northerner who appreciates the so-called Southern culture.”
I want to thank you for that. I had a bee in my bonnet about Norherner’s for a while even though I’m married to an Upstate NYer.
I’m an unashamed Southerner and lived in middle PA for a few months. Everywhere I went people acted like they couldn’t understand a word I said and my accent is very, very mild. They’d roll their eyes, then speak very loudly and slow as if I were the one with the comprehension problem.
I’m so tired of ‘unbigoted’ Lie-berals I could vomit!
“Oh, please! This young woman, Kristy Lee Cook, sang “God Bless the USA” previously....”
Wrong singer. It was the bar chick with a tattooed woman on her arm whose name was Carly-something that got booted right after singing “Jesus Christ, Superstar”.
