Rudy is an incredible singer...it was a little low-class to hear Simon say, "you can't make an average singer a good one" after Rudy had already been voted off, but that seems to be vintage Simon.<BR/><BR/>As far as the Chris Sligh "apology". I didn't really take what he said as an apology. If you read his original comments word for word, he actually didn't attack Simon's production credits AT ALL. His exact words were, "Just b/c I don't sing like Il Divo or the Teletubbies doesn't mean I don't have a good voice." Sure, it was a little dig at Simon, but the dig wasn't the point...he was pointing out that maybe Simon's view isn't always right.<BR/><BR/>I think a lot of people, including you, have obviously over reacted. But I can understand why...I mean, what with Randy and Paula whooping and hollering it seemed like a bust, but go back and watch Chris...he never breaks a smile.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>Andy ChalkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1172298967919898462007-02-24T01:36:00.000-05:002007-02-24T01:36:00.000-05:00Justin, I agree.

I guess they couldn't resist using the platform to launch a new hit.<BR/><BR/>Chancelucky, thanks. Every comment of encouragement is always welcome. What kind of alternate history do you read? I found Harry Turtledove surprisingly good when I read "Ruled Britannia." But I've been afraid to read more because there's so much of his I'll get sucked in if it's good. Besides, if you look at my comments on a post above, you'll see I haven't read Anna Karenina or Lolita yet and surely they should come first<BR/>.Michael in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449933463450154603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1172274779463618692007-02-23T18:52:00.000-05:002007-02-23T18:52:00.000-05:00Just wanted to say, Nice Recap.Just wanted to say, Nice Recap.Chanceluckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16829789745697541046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1172258390046483752007-02-23T14:19:00.000-05:002007-02-23T14:19:00.000-05:00I'm not a big fan of the results show either.

There's really only a handful of contestants who can actually win it all, and they are all still in it; so with everyone else, it's just a matter of when they go home.<BR/><BR/>Oh.
