I'm not a fan of reality TV, or even of TV, but an ex-girlfriend of mine got me into American Idol the year Kelly Clarkson won.

Clarkson's home in Fort Worth was only about a 30 minute drive from where we used to live, and that was the first season of Idol, so it really was kind of exciting (I know that probably sounds cheesy).

I still like to keep up. Occasionally, some pretty phenomenal talent passes across the stage.

Siobhan Magnus is my favorite this year.

Awesome chops, and the coolest chick ever, if you're into that type.

If I was 20 years younger...

A couple of decent voices from the guys, but definitely more talent on the ladies side this year. Lilly Scott and Crystal Bowersox are both really good and already have pretty well-defined musical identities (which Shiobhan lacks somewhat), and Katelyn Epperly could be a contender.

Most of the rest should probably stick to Karioke, church, and the shower.

Anyone?

American whatnow? Sorry, never heard of it.

Mark, at one time is was called American Idiot, but so many people turned out for the initial call, they changed the name. Not all that many wanted to attend a Billy Idol venue.

We have a thing in the UK called the Bone Idle.

It's about all the bastards who pick up government checks for doing fuck all, out of my taxes, while I'm freezing my bollocks off on a train station platform at 5:30 am.

I often thing fondly of them, snug and warm...

Sponging BASTARDS!

SFO,

My wife watches the show faithfully, and I sometimes watch with her.

If you were 20 years younger, the Siobhan girl wouldn't go out with you. I'll bet large amounts of money she's a dyke.

My favorite? None of them. I think that they mostly have a crappy talent pool this year, and are trying to overhype it as usual.

Doesn't matter. We'd still be friends anyway because I like the way she rolls. Maybe I could even talk her into a 3-way with Ellen.

If she turns out not to be a dyke, I'll bet large amounts of money she's still going to be one of the biggest stars to "come out" of American Idol in the show's history because the girl has some serious oral skills.

No joke. (just a couple of puns)

Ditto.

I dont watch the actual shows, the UK or US version, but I do love the heats! It restores my faith that there are still plenty of deluded nutters out there, although I wouldn't want to sit beside them in the train I do love watching them on tv, its my guilty pleasure...well that and Gin & Tonic....well that and Gin & Tonic and, no think I better just wrap it up right there.

Jude, what's your favorite Gin?

Plymouth every time and twice on sundays. I will drink Gordons if i'm in the pub as they rarely have Plymouth but it always leaves me feeling slightly dirty and ashamed of myself

Well to be fair I may be one of those people on the train myself,

I'm a frequent train traveller.

Too many weirdos on trains.

It's the ones with the balls of string you have to watch.

I keep an eye on the buggers with my digital periscope and keep a record of where they all get on and off.

You can't be too careful nowadays.

I'm actually a 'Limey'
by birth.

I hate those bloody reality shows. What a waste of time. They are NOT REALLY REAL. They are total crapoly.

I do work with some Morons who watch them. It scares me to think that these 'Morons' are teaching kids.

Crikey, their brains must be 'mush' so what the hell can they be teaching those poor kids? - I ask myself. OK I KNOWI shouldn't be talking to myself and asking questions - but that's the ONLY way I get the answers I want.

My Dog. I'm glad the teachers who watch those idiotic Reality Showsy don't teach MY grandkids.

I don't actually HAVE any grandkids yet, but when I DO, you can be certain I will be 'interviewing' their prospective teachers.

Notwithstanding J-Man's advice, I have cut off my remaining ear and sent it to Barnstable, Massachusetts, c/o Siobhan Magnus. Wow, that girl can sing!

I'm sorry, did you say something?

How can you hear her sing without any ears?

I think you're just looking at her jugs or her fanny.

No, no, no. That's, "Hey Jude!"

What's the sound of one ear listening?

SFO,

I'm not a big fan of your show. I will occasionally watch it with my wife.

I saw that tonight your girl got voted off. I thought that she clearly has been getting the shaft by "the judges" for the past month.

The pre-pick the person that they want to win, lavish great praise on them, and then rip on every person who has a chance to actually beat them. The uneducated public actually listens to these "judges."

This year, the high quality singer that got the boot was your Magnus girl.

It's funny, but the two worst singers on the show (Aaron and Casey) are always getting great compliments (and one got a "save").

Just pop a Bluetooth headset on the crazies so people don't mind when they talk to themselves.

Guess I won't be tuning in next week.

Best wishes, Siobhan.
