Okay, wow, you American Idol people are starting to frighten me.

Well, when you consider that there are probably more Americans know who Taylor Hicks is than those who know who the Secretary of State is...

I don't watch the show, but the impression I had after watching snippets here and there: these contestants are marginally talented at best.

They may be very talented -- I happened to be passing through when some friends of mine were watching the results show one week, and apparently they make the week's loser do a number before leaving, which seems unusually cruel, but the kid who was singing at the time was really pretty good -- but whether they are or aren't seems to be independent of their likelihood of success.

The mistake you made was in considering anyone on LJ rational. ;)

I have a (completely, admittedly irrational) hate for Taylor Hicks that knows no bounds, but I also don't give a damn enough to vote. Such is the life of an elf.
