I didnt need three minutes. About ten seconds on each one was plenty. ;)

Over the past 10 seasons I have enjoyed watching American Idol. Sure it has its faults but it promotes quality music and give young adults a chance at the American dream. Alternatively, why anyone would watch instead programs like SIMPSONS that lampoons American culture, society,and many aspects of the human condition (been on the air over 20 years) makes me wonder. So it may just be me but I find American Idol is one of the few programs on the air that has positive outcomes and besides it helps make a long cold winter a little more bearable.

I added a poll to the topic for those that want to stay anonymous. ;)

Jeff, my memory gets foggy at times with this stuff because I don't watch much TV. I here short glimpses on radio of what's going on in the entertainment world. And all the while not really paying particular attention to any of it. So to that, I must say that I made a mistake. This lady made it to 5th place in season 3 (2005) of Canadian Idle.

Furby, sent me a message and cleared the fog a little with some links.

Here is an interesting article on the same contestant and NB contenders up to 2008. Since it's a 2008 article.

:D :D Sad, but true. Apparently. ;)

What I was actually recalling was an actress who went to audition for a TV show with CBC television. I don't recall the name, she was only on a radio interview which I can't dig up on web searches. :-\ I don't ever watch CBC because of bad reception, and nothing really of interest to me on it anyway.

You guys take up all my spare time. :D So, in essence it's all your fault. Now that we cleared that up, onto your regularly scheduled lifestyles. :D ;)

I can't figure out a statement like that. Lost interest in American Idol. If not for Idol, you would never have known about her. Who cares who wins in the end. Its about the music.

Very true..a more rational view!

Just was disappointed way more that makes any sense! AND....when time allows, I'll be listening to...Crystal Bowersox CD's and Carrie Underwood CD's..lol and a bunch more. It is about the music and this venue has changed the way that industry works..in a more positive way I think.

I admit I watch Idol as well...more dedicated to the auditions as I find them very entertaining- some people are just so bad, but they think they are super starts. :D
