I don't know the Cindarella part of it, but it was kind of fun to watch her win, how excited she was. She didn't look all that bad, either.

They specialize in pulling your heartstrings and taking your money. Yes, "they" do. But underneath all that are some nice, talented kids who are living the American Dream, which is alive and well. Perhaps it's because you never aspired to be Miss America... <g>

Re claptrap from Hollywood, true in a way, not in another way. Kelly Clarkson was a high school grad waitress with a wonderful voice nobody had heard except a few people in her home town. It wasn't fiction, she wasn't lip-synching, she really can sing. And seems like a nice (if unsophisticated) girl. And if you watched from the beginning, you got attached to a lot of the candidates. There was real human drama going on. It was kind of... gladitorial. The phone calls being the crowd saying Let him live, or Kill him. I thought a horrible thing the program did was to ridicule by playing the tapes of their auditions over and over the worst or most nutty singers who tried out. Mean mean mean. Those poor devils hadn't signed up for that.
