I am so delighted you are an Anthony fan. He was the ONLY real talent the Idol show produced.

He is a lovely person too!

So what happened to him? I have not heard much lately <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Don't know Glen. He did Wicked and a few shows at Crown. He also did a Fox talent show as a mentor/judge. The Idol show lost total credibility in the second season when Callea lost to Casey Donovan. She was hopeless, she could not sing in the lower register. I actually felt sorry for the poor girl. From then on the show struggled.

These shows are really just money spinners.

It seems all these idol folk disappear apart from the first two. GuyS and Shannon.

The American version last year lost credibility and was also a flop especially last year as the clear winner was Adam but there was no way America would let a gay guy win!

Now Adam is a super star and no one recalls the winner.

So its true; the majority does not actually know what's best and a ruling class should govern instead, or at the very least; democracy should include the right to vote registrations based on conscience.



Oops, did i say that out loud?

Don't get me started on that Iblis. I feel Governments should not follow public thinking but should be a step ahead.

Of course if I had my way I would get rid of public votes on these shows.. its never really about talent.
