I think people take all this too seriously. .I actually get a kick out of this bizarre Sanjaya thing. I think it's kind of funny. I think he is milking his 10 minutes of fame. What the heck, why not, that's what kids do...

as far as talent goes...Melinda, Jordin, Lakeisha, gave a Iof of it, and I enjoy seeing what they will do each week. I enjoy Blake because, although his voice isn't much, he is following some inner directive that is kind of interesting.

I am amazed by the shallowness of people who discount Melinda's talent because she isn't classically beautiful and who cannot believe that she is actually modest.

But in the end - this is just a TV SHOW, it's just entertatinment.... How can anyone care that much about it????? There is much more important stuff going on in the world. And that said, it's time to get off the internet and go do something useful. I suggest the same for others.
