		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Rant: American Idol Has Society By The Balls&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;...Face it, people, youÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re being played. Played by industries, agents, producers, writers, and even Ryan Seacrest himself. It is disdainful and pathetic and partially our own fault. American Idol has become just another travesty blanketing the gap between the real marvels and the clowns, the real superheroes and the lackeys. Next to Thom Yorke, Clay Aiken can just juggle. Next to Joanna Newsom, Kelly Clarkson can just whine. If itÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s all about image, than the image of the American society has gone to shit, and I expect less and less from established music sources all the time.&lt;/em&gt;

ETA:  Here he is looking like a cross between Jesus and a serial killer, but sounding amazing.

		<description>I wonder who Ace Young had to blow to get referred to as a &quot;grammy nominated singer songwriter&quot;. OK so you provided some falsetto suggestions to Chris Daughtry one night while drunk and naked in bed together on tour. Does not mean you wrote the damn song.</description>

		<description>So cool that E is doing a USA tour.  I know Kellie did one, too.  That has to be so much more meaningful to the troops than fans sending CDs.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Ace Young, Grammy nominated songwriter, for writing two lines in the chorus of Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œItÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Not OverÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  LOL!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, the chorus is arguably the most important part of the song in terms of producing a hit.  Hey, Ace was nominated. Why not use it? Besides, it&#039;s not like it&#039;s his ONLY writing credit. 

Oh, and I don&#039;t really care how well Ace&#039;s Cd sells, as long as it&#039;s more than Constantine.   :furious_tb:</description>

		<description>In the Elliott article, this part was so touching to me. I bet it got to Elliott too.  

&lt;blockquote&gt;The last autograph of the evening may have been the most powerful for Mr. Yamin, as an Airman who recently returned from Iraq tearfully relayed how Mr. Yamin&#039;s lyrics helped him make it through his deployment. &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t see this posted:

&lt;strong&gt;Liberty serenaded by Idol for Valentines&lt;/strong&gt;

2/15/2008 - ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England -- Love was definitely in the air Thursday, but the mood could be attributed to more than just the Valentine&#039;s Day chocolates, the &quot;Hearts of Fire&quot; meal hosted by the 48th Services Squadron, and Cupid&#039;s arrows. American Idol season five star, Elliott Yamin, performed here, kicking off his United Services Organization, Armed Forces Entertainment European Tour.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;#

LetÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hope that this time, TPTB are willing to shell out the money required to get some more up-to-date songs. I love musicals, but not everybody has a voice for Broadway (LOL always a tough week for Simon).
# 5 &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hmm... :ponder_tb:

Carly Smithson toured in Les Miserables when she was a child. Does that give the Chosen One an advantage?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;ItÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s supposed to drop this month, heÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s going to start the big push in March, going to radio stations to promote it. And the CD is supposed to come in May.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

why does this CD seem likely to become the Constantine CD?  Remember Constantine&#039;s CD -- nah, nobody remembers it.</description>

		<description>Purple, thanks for giving the link for the top 24 commercial. I am really hoping they give someone else a chance at the exit song this year. I think the Ferras song (hey, I need to put my blue jeans on) was only for the selection of the 24.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s good to see Ace pimping himself out again. :smile_wp:  Can&#039;t wait for the album!

Nice of Sligh to offer to help Josiah. :-)

Oh, and thanks for the vid, Purps.  It&#039;s almost as if they&#039;ve already had their makeovers!</description>
