Reg:

My best friend's son recently won the BUFFALO IDOL contest, which is like the REGIONALS to AMERICAN IDOL. I also recently read Simon Cowell's book, where he talks about American Idol. The show, in my own opinion, is a scam. I have advised my friend not to allow his son to get anywhere closer to that show.

Also, on this season's American Idol, there is a kid JOHN STEVENS who is from the Buffalo area. Where my friend's son backed off, JOHN STEVENS won the spot that he was offered.

American Idol is completely rigged.

When they got down to the 24 finalists this year, I took a piece of notepaper, and wrote down the 12, 6, 3, finalists and final winner and sealed it in an envelope and taped it up so it could not be opened. They are down to the final six and so far I am 100% correct about their choices.

The most famous fucked up audition on American Idol was WILLIAM HUNG --- who sang Ricky Martin's SHE BANGS. His massacre of that song is his CD's centerpiece. This is LET'S ALL LAUGH AT THE SILLY FOREIGNER --- only HUNG is NOT in on the joke.

This is flavor of the moment marketing --- and let's all remind ourselves while WILLIAM HUNG resides in the BILLBOARD TOP 40, David Baerwald remains America's greatest undiscovered talent --- who has no label.

I feel like I am now in a silly funhouse mirror world --- where everything that should be isn't, and everything that doesn't deserve to be --- is the flavor of the day.

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of HUNG's CD are the spoken word segueway pieces --- where he talks about how he has captured the AMERICAN DREAM.

Yeah right, give me a break!

Oh Reg --- 19 ENTERTAINMENT owns those kids 1,000% and throws them away when they don't sell records. Run the following name through GOOGLE:
