I don't admit that I watch that show. Or that I voted for Kelly on American Idol last night. So now kholt isn't the only one. She wouldn't be if I'd done that, I mean. Kelly didn't do her best, and Tamyra did great. Except that her voice, however well used, is just somehow not pleasant to listen to, imo. It's almost grating. imo. Which is what makes her different from Whitney and Celine, to whom she was compared. imo. I feel sad for Christine. She got screwed. She is next best after Kelly, imo. The two guys can't sing. Well, Justine can sing a little. But the weird selflove factor is so great.

According to E!, the dip in the ratings was primarily due to reduced viewership among the 55+ set, a demographic not considered especially desirable on Madison Ave. Isn't that where the money is?

If you need to stay indoors, you could always watch the Anna Nicole show: I cannot imagine ever being that desperate. I would rather sit in the hot sun and stew in my own sweat than watch her. I can't even stand to watch the commercials for her show. Just those snippets make me cringe. I just got back from lunch. The thermometer reading from my car was 109 when I left the restaurant but the car had been parked in the sun. The official temperature is "only" 99. Fortunately, I have a robust air conditioner in my car, as well as in my home. The A/C is the second most important feature I check out when shopping for a car, right after the fit of the driver's seat. Kicking the tires is way down on the list...
