Comments on: Idol Headlines for 12/23/09 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-122309.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: SpenserJ http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-122309.htm/comment-page-6/#comment-543795 SpenserJ Thu, 24 Dec 2009 13:26:35 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/?p=13998#comment-543795 <blockquote>How can you tell how many hits she's getting?</blockquote> My reply is way late - hopefully you'll see it. I can't tell. MJ told us, and it was in the newspaper article that the Boston (?) newspaper did on MJ last season. It was a crazy number like 60,000 or more hits a night on show nights. I just remember, going "huh? what?" and thinking perhaps I should double-check my spelling more often if there were that many eyeballs on it!

How can you tell how many hits she’s getting?

You're a real pro! And a life-saver for peeps outside the US who otherwise couldn't see all those performances and other events so close to real time- or even at all!

I love its mix of views and objects of passion: keeps it fun and interesting. And it's definitely the best place to come for news. ITA with whoever said that they'd broadened their appreciation of other Idol singers through coming here. I started out only interested in Cook, but I've slowly begun to see some of the others as worth listening to in their own right. The only problem is that it is <em>impossible</em> to get hold of Allison's album in the UK! Happy Christmas to the blog. MJ – just adding my thanks for the site.

I mostly just lurk, but like others I am here every day. My kids are getting a kick out of my interest in Idol these last two years - they were fans years ago. I also appreciate all I have learned from the regulars here. So many articulate, interesting people. Such passion and diversity! I have a very stressful job and this is such a guilty pleasure/diversion. So thank you, MJ, Kirsten, and all you lovely people! I’d like to add my appreciation as well.

I am another one who found a second home here when looking for Adam information. I used to check Andrew Sullivan's site first everday, but now MJ has priority even over Andrew. I am in awe of her comprehensive coverage of all thing idol. I have been watching Idol since season 5, but only found mjs this past season - and now I'm looking forward to enjoying the coming season with a whole added dimension to it.

Carrie's fans are all over the place online. They just don't make fools of themselves online or worry about minor slights or insults. I'm not seeing the basic hypothesis here (which seems to be: too many country fans without internet possibly dooms country music or makes it harder for poor Danny to break through) to have much merit.
