No, we have Fox News to do that for us over here...

Apparently, because we are not allowed to show nude girls on page three, print media in the US is at the point of financial collapse

Sad to say, about the only sources of unbiased journalism, at least of the TV kind, left in the US are BBC America and PBS.

In the meantime, I simply can't WAIT for the Susan Boyle movie. With any luck, it will be at LEAST as good as that Paris Hilton movie

Two thumbs up (but I won't say where! )...

Apparently persistence paid off..



and that's news? OBAMA is President..!!! LOL



The idea is to please the PUBLIC....not DIKI..In that regard, she has achieved far more....ya think?



And that's a new concept?? No Diki thats been going on since the 70's.......and here I thought only us frogs lived under rocks...



NO thanks..Fame is a prison...My idealization of success is Barry Mann.....not Barry Manilow

So fame is a prison...? And you respect those that labor quietly in the background over those thrust into the spotlight?

So why the fascination with this?

BTW, duh! Of course I know that Huang's act was a comedy. The point was, it was TERRIBLE comedy, and has died the death despite the same hoopla surrounding it as Susan has. Now it is a tragedy.

Huang had the same kind of numbers, a vast internet following, movie offers, yada yada yada. I see no difference.

BTW, thanks once again for the Obama reference. Of course, by the same logic, of course, those sheep voted for Bush not once, but TWICE. Yet another terrible comedy that turned into a tragedy...

Thanks for the Mann reference, though, Had almost forgotten him and Cynthia... although I was more of a Goffin and King guy, myself. I had the great pleasure to work in the Brill Building some in the eighties. You can definitely feel the 'vibe' in there...

keep watching Britain's Got talent. There genuinely are some amazing acts on them show. I think that there are some contestants on that pro gramme that have a good shot at winning. I dont normally like these shows (apart from the later stages of American Idol ) but every now and again i get surprised

So Miss Boyle didnt win .....After millions of youtube hits, countless headlines in newspaper and bookmakers making her odds on favourate. I wish her well for the future.

another FIX like idol this year?

I dont know about American idol but it was not a fix for Britains got talent. There is no way that anyone could say that susan Boyle had more talent than any of the other 9 contestants in BGT finals. She is a nice woman but her talent is decidedly average. All the other singers on the show actually could sing and did sing better than susan boyle . The dancers were just incredible. Diversity had just amazing creativity taking street dance to a whole new level that is slick and entertaining and inspiring and funny and truly brilliant. Britain returned an honest and none hyped verdict. Diversity had virtually no media attention no youtube propaganda, no movie star endorsements, just pure talent. And thats what the show ought to be about. I am sure we have not seen the last of susan Boyle but i am proud that the British people actually rejected the hype and false headlines and manufactured ' wow' in favour of what they truly thought was amazing.
