Really? I think her legs looked liked tree trunks last night. The see through dress was a nice plus though - wonder what she'll think when she watches the show back.......

Interesting, she does look good, but you can turn on the country music channel (make sure it is muted for god's sake) and see a ton of good looking women. The song on the other hand was written on the back of a napkin during a poor convention meal. Same BS lyrics, with the vocal "rifting" to make it all fit to the std pop beat. Vocal "rifting" is that part where people make word like noises with their mount, usually to stretch out a word to make it fit the beat. I really should start writing my own songs that parody this crap, but I will leave that to Weird Al! Sorry guys, but way too cookie cutter for my tastes.

These people do have talent, but I can never place them in the same circle as a true musican. Most pop singers do not write their own lyrics, and few can play an instrument, other than the piano. Mostly they are marketable images that can cary a tune.

Yeah some of these “reality” shows are pretty pathetic and clearly a detriment to our society. After all, what has entertainment in this country come to when watching celebrities try and dance, or be successful in big-business, or a slew of contestants competing to win a “date” with a bachelor, I mean c’mon. Some of these B programs are nothing more then feeble attempts to capitalize on the “Reality Show Band Wagon”.

That said however, a small few actually stand for something more then number of viewers tuned in and/or revenue generated. Such as the “Idol Gives Back” program raising funds for charities in this country and abroad (and endorsed by good ol GW). Another is “The Biggest Loser”, which although may initially seem a bit disturbing to watch heavy people struggle with the disease of obesity on national television, the show actually changes the contestants lives (for the better) and inspires millions of viewers who also struggle with weight. What a great program and best part is, they have a continuing theme of encouragement with weight tips and advice geared to the viewer throughout each segment…

I can understand those comments. 'Popstars' are for the main part a bunch of talentless goits who cant sing live to save their lives, but LL does have an amzing voice none the less. Someone else who has a great voice and can play an instrument is Jose Gonzalez; love his music.
