    Heh, I only watch American Idol's first few auditions, those were actually fun to watch.

    Then it gets boring...and yeah I agree with you.

    Diana should've won, although Latoya should've been in the final 2.

    There's one of our bus operators who has a big mouth and admits to it. She even mentioned she could probably fit a bus in it!

    Try living in the same city as one of these "real tv" start and you'll see my point.

    They filmed Extreme Makeover Home Edition in the town our transit agency is in and there was a re-route to keep gawkers on the bus from seeing the house.

    The right person won. Fantasia was the best talent in this competition and deserved to come out on top.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but how can Fantasia be an "American Idol" if she's like 19 with 2 kids????

    truth be told...they'll both be one hit wonders..or less...and in a year's time you'll find their "releases" at the bottom of a clearance bin like all the other hacks of that show.

    Anyway, age has nothing to do with the contestants on the show...I don't mind if they're 14, 16, 20, 30...

    But if you're going to tell me that a 19 year old girl who has a baby (single parent may I add) is going to win a show called American IDOL where the word IDOL means someone who is idolized...then you've got to be kidding. What is that teaching our kids today?
    Its a tv talent / popularity show on fox for goodness sakes, not the nobel prize. However I think it lives up to the American part just great.

    Sorry, TV Show or not, American Idol is one of the highest watched shows in America....it can't just be called 'some show on fox.' That means there must be people out there watching and taking the title of the show at least somewhat literally.

    The producers of the show didn't call it American Idol for nothing... Obviously it isn't the show's producers fault THAT she won (she has a good voice) and she was voted for, but it is the show's producers fault that she was ALLOWED to win. I surely cannot be the only one who thinks this.

    I still think you're taking it too far. People don't create TV shows for the good of common man; They create it for money. People stupid enough to use a TV character as a role model are the problem with America IMO, not the producers of a TV show... America chose her, not the producers. If you want anyone else to step in, it'd be considered censorship.

    I looked up 'idol' on dictionary.com, and one of the definitions was " Something visible but without substance." That's pretty much what the winners are IMO.

    But in all seriousness, you have to face reality in that there are probably more children who use famous celebrities (whether it is TV characters/ singers / etc.) as role models, than using parents, police, fire fighters, military... so are you calling all these children stupid?
    haha, probably, and they're parents are really to blame. I was 15 before I was allowed to watch anything on MTV, and it was nothing as bad then as what it is now.

    I doubt there will be a TV in my house when I become a father; Their little computers will be hard enough to police.

    I do see your point though, and I'll stick with my side as well.

    Hi Jean-Pierre,

    That would be another can of worms in itself... I guess I was brought up as pre-maritial birth being BAD... This isn't even touching the fact that she had a baby at the age of 17. And that she cannot support herself and her baby. Her child is 2 years old, without a father. She isn't married...

    I'm not sure if you call that courage, or irresponsible.

    American Idol is about a group of people who try their hardest to perform to the best of their abilities week by week. American Idol is about the talent that the contestant has and not their personal life.

    If you have watched the show and listened to "Simon", he tells you what the contest is about.

    American Idol provides an entertainment purpose for the family and should not be taken anymore than that.

    Kelly, Justin, Ruben, Clay, Fantasia, and Dania have all lived their "dream" of being on stage and pleasing the audience. I tip my hat to them.

    Fantasia has an excellent voice and preformed well week by week, that’s why she is the American “Idol”.

    How do you know you can't support herself and her baby? I know plenty of single mom's who do; Its not the ideal situation, but I applaud her for taking enough responsibilty not to have an abortion. She'll probably be able to support her family just fine as a result of this contest.
