It is a hard choice, really -- it is as likely as not that whatever finale they put together will resolve things incompletely and/or inadequately (from any one viewer's perspective), so is it better...

The mini-series or tv movie idea is just a pipe-dream they have, at this point. Figure the most likely scenario is that we've seen the final episode.

No great loss, afaic. It was good for a while, then it wasn't, now its gone.

I think the fact that the show is so old is definitely having an impact. What made a lot of moments in the past special is that you felt like you were sharing in something that was somewhat unique. ...

I don't think the style really fits Billboard's Hot 100 or Cashbox's Top Popular Singles either. :cool:

ITA. Aaron is too green for us to really have any idea whether or not he could be a decent recording artist when he grows up. Mike is very polished as a singer, fully developed, and as such, it is...

So it isn't a fine, nor is it a surcharge. It's a fee. :)

You agree to be subject to the cleaning charge when you check-in.

It is included in hotel revenue.

The same as what they do with the money that the collect for the regular room rate.

Ditto....

Yes: The theme parks, restaurants, resorts and transportation are all smoke-free environments. There are designated smoking areas throughout the parks where you can stop and have a cigarette if...

You mean like Jasmine Trias? Syesha Mercado? Sanjaya Malakar? Anthony Fedorov? John Stevens?

Sorry, I can't agree with you about that. While she clearly isn't going to win, she's definitely in...

Maybe that's why she's a singer with national exposure and you're not. :rotfl:

I have seen that on other celebrity youth.

During our first visit, there clearly were many great singers auditioning, and some clearly were visiting WDW at that time specifically to compete for the golden ticket. However, that was shortly...

That was the point I made, that you must be new to watching American Idol.... and/or to watching American reality/competition television.... because this is normal, routine, typical, unremarkable,...

You must be new to watching American Idol.... actually, you must be new to watching American reality/competition television.

:beer: :marg:

If you're going to Epcot, please park at Epcot. Thanks.

That's not the issue. The only answers that came to mind were ones that I would consider irresponsible to post. Living in accordance with ethical standards is not "refusing to think outside the...

Any: Given what I wrote earlier, it would be ridiculous to actually engage in the same kind of baseless speculation that I criticized before.

Uh, I think you're actually playing semantics there... drawing the distinction between absolute predetermination of the winners vs. influencing the "outcome" (by which I assume you meant who would...

And because of that, that sort of thing doesn't happen anymore. Too many people are watching now. Though, again, I do acknowledge that it more fun to accuse producers of doing bad things.

The judges are there to determine who will do best in the competition -- not only who is a good singer. The judges are, very specifically, casting for a television show -- an entertainment program...

I think it can readily be more fun, or otherwise more satisfying, to think that it is fixed, especially if one's preferred contestant doesn't win.

I think some people don't like Lavigne because (1) she's young and rich and (2) she is a pop-punk artist. Either is enough to cause some folks to simply not like her. By the same token, both would...

I think the risk of bad PR from fixing the competition is so incredibly high -- utterly mind-blowingly high -- that there is no chance whatsoever that it is fixed.

I think American Idol probably has a couple of more years in it, despite losing Simon. The show is so powerful now, that even losing 1/3 of the audience it would still be #1, and even losing 1/2 of...

I'm looking forward to seeing how much better Ellen is than Paula was.

I might have a little trouble fitting AI in with all the other good stuff on though.
