SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

American Idol - It's Not John's Fault  
Permanent link Post a Comment

Thanks to Kidd for the link to the wonderful commentary. Exactly what I wanted to say, using less bombastic words. Yeah yeah this is what I wanna say. But well, he's gone so pointless. USATODAY was totally wrong to put the blame on him and there was Weird Al in there? To think I am his fan!

American Idol - It's Not John's Fault
By RTVC Staff Writer Quinton Carroll
E-Mail Quinton


April 28, 2004

The conspiracy buffs are jumping up and down, slinging fist through the air, contacting Fox, and maybe writing their congressmen. What are they up in arms about? I am talking about the elimination last week of Jennifer Hudson and the divas getting voted into the final three.

I've read that it's racism. It's because there was a power outage in Jennifer's hometown. John Steven's is sooo cute that he is getting the teeny votes. Could it be that the universe is not in alignment after J.P.L. got voted out? I could go on and on.

What motivated me to write this commentary is a harsh article I read about John Steven's in the April 27th edition of the USA Today. The title of the article was "Could this guy kill 'American Idol'?" by Edna Gundersen. USA Today even had their list of "celebrity panelist weigh in with their opinion on American Idol and trash John. One of these "celebrity panelist was 'Weird Al' Yankovic, believe it or not, who said, "When are they going to put this poor kid [John] out of his misery?" Let's take a logical look at this situation.

Everything in life starts from somewhere. How did John Stevens make it on American Idol? The answer to the million dollar question is the JUDGES. So if anyone wants to point fingers, point your boney fingers at the judges not John. It's not John that is going to kill American Idol, it's the judges' who decide who gets to move on at the very beginning of the show. If they think that a contestant isn't right for the show, be up front with them and spare them the pain of embarrassment. John is doing what he is supposed to do week in and week out. Sing the best he can and let America decide if he moves to the next round.

We have a teenager getting his name and self esteem dragged through the mud in front of millions of Americans. How would you feel if that was you or your child?

All this because what the industry hotshots and the media think are the top three, Fantasia, Jennifer, and La Toya should get everything handed to them on a silver platter. Listen the show is called American Idol. America decides.

I have one last comment for the finalists, for America, and for the media. You need to learn really quickly that this is show business. Get used to the highs and take the lows with some class and learn from it. America, vote for WHO YOU THINK is the best talent or who you are a fan of. Media folks, don't destroy their self esteem just for a story. Because it is so hard today to make young people believe they are worth something. "
