Salamar, of course it is my opinion coz it is my blog. Anyway, I see you trying to depict Fantasia as critically acclaimed and/or popular. I just disagree that she is either. Trust me, I loved it when she won. If she is winning millions, then good for her.

Patrix, that is YOUR opinion. Apparently their record company’s believe differently then you as they are still signed major label recording artists. People who truly have FAILED music careers are usually dropped from the roster of a major recording label. The only true failed musicians are the one’s who’ve been dropped and Fantasia and Ruben aren’t on that list. So you can speak your ignorance all you want, afterall this is america. Furthermore, there were more the grammy nominations, CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED music also means something and that is something that Fantasia has. Read the reviews and you’ll find that her music is the most critically acclaimed of all idol music. It may not be the best selling but it is according to the “critics” great music.

I don’t know why I’m even wasting time on the ignorant. Fantasia is bringing in millions of dollars on broadway and getting rave reviews. Forget the ignorant on a silly blog.

BD, well that too :) but the first two posts still get 95% of the traffic through Malakar-related searches.

Kuttan, their success with the TV ratings have merely upped their arrogance and suck-quotient. This year’s 12 are clearly not as good as previous years.

Santosh, I thought you would have them. I bet you spotted her yesterday with a clearly possessive boyfriend.

I always believed that American Idol was reality television at its pompous best (or worst).

Amen to that!!
The only show worth watching on broadcast channels now in America was Heros cant wait for the next season.

Salamar, the verdict of a failed music career was passed on by the music industry. Grammy nominations do not mean anything for success unless the nominated artistes’ career improves. Barrinos’ did not. We haven’t heard from Ruben at all after the second season. In an industry which thrives on buzz and excitement, these two haven’t generated any after their AI win. Of course, they are good singers but then by record sale numbers, so is Britney.

Sakshi, you are hooked now? I admit that I keep watching just to see what will Sanjaya do next. And I bet the judges and the audience feel the same.

I think I am going to vote to keep him on for another week just to see another post. I am addicted :)
It is so funny how people make this into a ’singing’ competition and take it all so seriously! And here I thought there were more important things in life to protest or get angry over.. sigh ! the things one learns!

Oops that should be “nearly”. ALso, I forgot the most important thing. THEY CAN SING and that’s what it is a SINGING competition anyway.

You’re ignorant. How can a a debut album selling nearling TWO million copies and receiving FOUR grammy nominations plus being critically acclaimed = failed music career? How can a sophomore album selling nearling 400k on only 400K shipped being even more critically acclaimed then the first equal failed music career?

Well, that’s Fantasia buddy and her music career is hardly “failed”, last I check she and Ruben still had record deals. Ruben isn’t doing too badly either, just the last album did poorly. But the first and his gospel album did very well. Gold for the gospel and nearly double platinum for his debut. I think a lot of singers would like to have “failed” music careers like that.

Anyway, since most of the visitors to this blog aren’t interested in any cultural or social dissection of a television show and come down here only for Sanjaya’s pictures, I cannot help but oblige

How dare you!
I was actually interested in the cultural and social dissection part!
