hi judith,
Regardless of rich's opinions on who the most listen to and who
stinks.. one has to remember, this is only one guy's opinion, is not
founded in fact, and would mean little to anyone who enjoys any of
the artists he commented on.
Underwood is primarily a country artist... and there are MANY who do
not listen to this kind of music (just there are many that dont
listen to pop, rap, jazz, classical etc).
kelly clarkson, in my opinion, has a voice perfectly suited to the
type of music she sings and does not stink. she's had many hits on
the soft rock and pop charts and has a vibrant charisma (as does
Underwood).

the only Idol winner I think anybody really listens to is Carrie
Underwood who is a fabulous singer
Kelly Clarkson stinks
Ruben Stoddard is blase
Fantasia is forgotten
Taylor Hicks was poorly managed

but Carrie Underwood is fabulous & has a long career ahead of her

Hello
I think what this thread needs is a good dose of (youngish) blood
and reality. 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.
Yours for the asking,

i agree with you judith.
the dance group, Diversity, is a flash in the pan act (i just
watched them and the final results clip on youtube).. and will be
forgotten about in 3-6 months. because of the world wide
attention Boyle received, (and talk about pressure), along with a
pending recording contract, her name and voice will live on long
after the 50-100 members of Diversity have gone their separate ways.

Bruce, I couldn't agree with you more! She may have been
coached. 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! Judith

Is it just me, or did anyone else think Susan Boyle conducted
herself really nicely during losing? 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.
