American Idol: What’s Hot, What’s Not

April 22, 2011 By Carl Matthes 1 Comment

Carl Matthes: One of the most interesting parts of American Idol are the vignettes which reveal the competitor’s personalities. That’s hot! Added this year are ensemble performances with finalists appearing in duos, trios and quartets. This adds to the ”cult of personality” and artistic stature of each performer. Also, hot!

Brenth Budowsky: What is
astounding and incomprehensible is the degree that Obama and too many Democrats have surrendered on first principle policies where the majority of voters agree with the
progressives.

Wayne Williams: Mike was cantankerous, brilliant, stubborn, and, of course, funny. He never knew his parents, was adopted and raised by a casino boss, served with the U.S. Marines in Korea, wrote for many comedy shows and comics, and wrote perfect prose to his hearts content, performed stand up himself, and taught others how to do so as well.

Steve Hochstadt: Is Hollywood trying to push a gay agenda on right-thinking Americans, as some people claim? I think it’s the other way around: Hollywood is trying to sell products.
