I don't like a lot of the contestants on American Idol for the sole reason that they don't have singing voices--they scream; and even Simon, the blunt British man that's famous for doing nothing but rudely criticize people, doesn't seem to know the difference between what's good and bad. What the heck does Simon know about singing? That's like having Ash Ketchum judge a beauty pageant instead of Brock--who we all know would be better for the job, lol. I can't stand Fantasia's voice and she's such a weird girl. In my opinion, I don't see her as being successful for too long. She has her fifteen minutes of fame going on Larry King and Jay Leno, but that's as much as she's going to get for publicity. Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken I think made it a lot more than Ruben Studdard--Clay didn't even win and he became more successful. It's nice to watch every once in a while and I love watching talent as much as the next guy, but it's all a bunch of malarkey if you ask me, lol...>_<
