American Idol

This year's contenders are WOW! so many good voices, good looks, good range of pitch - touch choice to vote.

Ryan Seacrest, I think, is perhaps taking it just a tad too far, in his 'rudeness' to Simon. he has quite a few times now, thanked Randy and Paula but deliberately ignored Simon. I mean, its okay to do it once or twice, but to continue is a bit rich.

i like simon. i think he's very forthright and blunt, but mostly fairly accurate. as they say, "the truth hurts".
so it really is not fair for people like Ryan to be blatantly rude, and what takes the cake is that the contestants now think they can have a shot at Simon too - this guy David was SO rude! I'm glad Simon came back telling him off, but in such a professional way.....

The Brits do have some class - as can be seen at the Oscars... the Brits have such a short, concise, and meaningful acceptance speech, spoken with class and panache - none of this drama that others put out....
