Ow, you don't understand... They had to make room for the chest hair guy, the "let my people go" guy and other delusionals and/or attention whores that auditioned in Philly...

To think that each one of these bozos actually took the spot of a potentially truly talented person...

What blonde mormon by the way? I thought Carmen Rasmusen was long gone, thank god.

I'm new here! Is there anyone in the top 24 that doesn't have any connections???

Danny Noriega slept with Sanjaya. And Garrett Haley is alledgedly the International Man of Mystery. So no, no one in the Top 24 doesn't have any connections.

Well, you <I>HAD</I> to have some idea only one (1) could win this whole out of <i>how many</i>?

Connections aren't even going to help some of these guys after they botched up in the two shitfests this week.

I'd check your facts if I were you, Marvin. "Last 3 out of six didn't do much..."? That would include Carrie Underwood (Season 4 winner), who IIRC is only the BIGGEST selling AI winner ever! Now if you'd said the last 2 out of six, I'd agree with you - neither Taylor Hicks nor Jordin Sparks has sold a million copies.
