Folks, I just remembered the first version of "A Song For You" I ever heard. It was the Carpenters, believe it or not. The next rendition was Leon himself.

The Carpenters recorded a good number of tunes written by ole Leon.

Peace and kind regards,

... perhaps the promise of a steady paycheck ?!? ....

Russ ... if you 'google' "Song for You" lyrics, it comes up with a Carpenters web page ...

It was pretty obvious when they made the 3 groups, and I said to my wife Kelly would be gone if for no other reason than you've got to figure Paris would carry the minority vote ...

.....or, maybe the majority of Kelly's fan base don't yet own phones. Actually, I'm ashamed to have said that. Disappointed in you too, Tony. What's the point of making that kind of statement. All it does is stir up crap. They both seem to be very nice young ladies, regardless of race. One is more likable, the other a better singer (though not THE best). Since it's a singing contest, couldn't we just assume that America voted along those lines.

Peace,
chas

I thought it was a bold statement by the public; Beauty and Charm will only get you so far in this Country....at the end of the day it takes talent to make a STAR!

JoDee Messina. Not a superstar but hot as a pistol in country music for awhile. And NOT pretty. But usually, good looks rule these days.

My office manager tells me that there was a segment on Entertainment Tonight or a competing show about a "wardrobe malfunction". Evidently, it involved Kate.

If it happened, I'm glad no one made a big deal out of it. Anybody hear anything about this?
