America Voted and...

for once they may have got it right. Sanjaya Malakar, your fifteen minutes of fame have expired. I didn't get a chance to watch American Idol this past Tuesday, but I watched the highlights last night. All I can say is , after country night, Kellie Pickler, Bucky Covington, Kerry Underwood, and Kelly Clarkson have nothing to worry about in this years crop of hopefuls as far as competition is concerned.

I was concerned that Lakisha was going to suffer the same fate as Mandisa did last year and be eliminated during country week. Lakisha has a great voice, but I don't think America is ready for a plus sized Idol, which is a shame(fat boy speaking).

Now let's have a talent competition instead of a revival of the "Gong Show".

That was the loudest cheer I have ever heard for someone who got voted off.

Don't forget season 2 winner Ruben Studdard was a big fellow; however, big guys and big girls are viewed differently in the public eye.

From what little I've seen of this season, it seems the overall talent involved is a bit off pace from previous seasons.

To be honest, with all the production and pitch modification involved in making an album, "singers" simply need to look the part, thus possibly missing out on the truly talented voices.

I agree with Simon about Melinda...she's very talented but for crying outloud, stop acting surprised when you get complimented.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
