Reality TV. Love it or hate it?/ American Idol S8

[Benji]

I think the Sony entertainment have an option on the top 12 anyway. I'd still like to see Adam win though.

 

....I don't consider A.I. to be a reality show, it is just a music competition. This years talent far outreaches previous shows. Adam is by far the best and deserves to win, but I won't be surprised if he doesn't. I guess we would need the demographics of who calls in to vote to figure the winners chances, after all Adam is gay, will that sway the voters in the finals??

Me too. So much that I actually voted last week.

I don't thing Adam being gay is going to affect him. It hasn't so far, but who knows. Whether he wins or not, he has such a huge fan base that he isn't going to have any touble career-wise. He's set.

 

I'll buy his CD's as soon as they come out. The boy is amazing.

I think it could well be a problem, but I hope he pulls it off anyway.

I agree, but in reality there is only one winner regardless of the result. Smiley doesn't have half the talent Adam does.

...........Having never voted in these things, I think I will vote next week, not just because Adam is gay, but because I think he deserves it.

No, but he is cute, and he's smart. He's straight (at least as far as we know) and he's cultivated a following among those oh-so-important Idol fans: teen-age girls. You see the rallys? Look who's there.

Interesting. I always thought Sony had first choice. Guess it clears that up.
