And the one who got kicked out early, Jennifer Hudson, has done more than all the rest put together. And she is talented.

Forget Susan Boyle now and beat the rest of the pack by a few months. Who listens to Kelly Clarkson? The joke is on anybody who thinks this is real talent and (insert favourite deity/celebrity here) help us if the Martians invade and hold these examples up as Earth's premium cultural exports. What has happened to our tastes? Are we really that lazy? Please, dear world, avert your gaze from these shows and invest your time and money supporting actually talented singers and songwriters rather than glitzed-up amateurs doing poorly executed covers of songs by, often, talented and forgotten people. Disregard the outcomes and the fickle fancies and support people who are worth investing in and need it badly at this time in the music industry. There is a ton of talent out there but you have to dig a bit and realize that it is not going to get to you as easily as your cable set-up and exposure on today's commercial radio is also pathetic and near nil for great talent and congested with crap, just like the current cinema climate. If you must meet me halfway, go with the new Camera Obscura album as they're Scottish and fantastic. I am available as a tutor in the field of challenging and rewarding contemporary music but I do not come cheap.

I understand she has serious learning disabilities and apparently broke down a little recently under the pressure at some hotel in London. I noticed in some of the clips I saw of her during verbal exchanges with judges on the show, she acted a tiny bit like a nervous teen-ager rather than a nervous 47-year-old. But I thought she was extremely gracious when the winner was announced. And while I didn't hear the winning group perform, it would be difficult to convince me that they were better than Susan. Susan didn't really lose, however. She made more of a splash around the world than anyone has on that show. And I believe Simon Cowell is giving her a recording contract with his record company. I for one can't wait to buy her first CD. Happy summer to all MOPOers!

I liked how she handled herself before, during and after her last performance, and when they announced the winner. It was almost as though someone had coached her in exactly what to say and do. And the winners left me cold. They remind me of those guys (Stomp?) who make music with trash can lids. A little of that goes a long way with me.
