As for Measure of a Man I'm really looking forward to trashing the lyrics to that one, even if I can't figure out what the hell they mean.


Ooh, man, is this the place for me or what? Typical convo between me and my Clay-lovin' bud (MOAM is playing - the song):

bud: I like this song.
Me: But what's it abooouuutttt?
b: I don't know. I like the way he sounds on it, though.
Me: Tell.me.what.it.means.
b: Can't tell. Don't care.
Me: ARRRGGGH!

This song is manic depressive. You love the guy because he has nothing? You would even if he had nothing? "Would he give up all he had?" Are you saying he shouldn't have to walk hot coals for you? Or are you such a bitch that you would make him walk hot coals, fine, but is he good enough yet?
I'm confused (tm Carson re: one C.H.A.)
I do like the Vox on it, but it makes me crazy. However, it is only at I Hate It level 3. Cannot beat Touch or Shine. Wish I could beat Touch or Shine. With a stick. To death.

Seeya, you KNOW what kind of a bitch I am and how much I hate the CD. Don't let me dampen your joy. I have nothing but admiration for people who love it, truly. I am fucking JEALOUS of you. (snarl, snarl)

I do like the belting on Perfect Day. Baby can belt better than Babs. I'd love to see/hear a Beltathon with Babs, Baby and Dion. He'd mop the stage with them.

His glory note tied to the panning camera


Welcome bip! You are now In The Zone and there is no escape. We worship the Blue-Footed Booby God of Sex, Clay Aiken. FYI, Baby ALWAYS knows where the panning camera is. He is a complete and total camera WHORE. Thank God.

...and his little jig...it actually sent chills down my spine

Makes you wanna be a smoker, doesn't it? That is actually some Alpha Stallion foot stamping going on there, calling in the herd/harem.
For the record, my New Year's Resolution is to quit swearing and to cease objectifying that sweetly modest and innocent young crooner. 

Funniest thing I've heard all year. Say it with me, mel - I.SO.WANNA.DO.HIM. (Modest? MODEST? Boyfriend nearly put my eye out with his modesty in concert. Waves his modesty around like nobody's biznezz. I swear he has a practice pole in the bedroom. Boy, has he got YOU snowed! Only NOT.)

Blatant objectification:
It was evidently quite cold there above the ice.

She's referring to his nipples here, folks.

Hedgehog the Famewhore and Slutney Spears. That damned striped shirt, EWWWW!

Jer, I was just asking - where the hell ya been? I missed you!!
I love that Hedgehog. He can be a Famewhore all he wants, yes he can. Because only HE could pull off that atrocity of a jacket that brought me to my knees. BTW, asymmetrical necklines are all the rage right now. (Hey, it beats the plethora of stripey shirts from the summer). I think if he wears a cucumber on his head on MTV tonight, we'll be in for vegetable chic by spring.

My NY's resolution is to swear more and write Slash. I'm looking to MTV for fodder.

IN the first season, TPTB clearly liked/pushed Christina Christian, Tamyra, Kelly, and Justin.
They clearly did not like Nikki McKibbin and RJ Helton.

The AI1 placement was 1-Kelly 2-Justin and Kelly and Justin both recorded CD's, appeared in a movie, and heavily marketed, etc.

3-Nikki---no marketing, she just disappeared. (not TPTB fave)

4-Tamyra who got a role on Boston Public, and is still marketed in connection with AI

5-RJ-nothing from 19E (not TPTB fave)

6-Christina Christian--TVGuide channel gig, continual AI-related marketing, etc.

Season 2-
1-Ruben 2-Clay see 1 & 2 above (except the movie)

3-KLo--still some AI appearances, but no other 19E help (not TPTB fave)

4-Josh---early TPTB fave, probably would be marketed in connection with 19E and AI if the Marines hadn't put a stop to the spectacle

5-Trynece--nothing from AI (not TPTB fave)

6-Carmen---clear TPTB favorite still---
Anyone want to venture a guess whether Carmen will pop up in some AI/19E marketing scheme within the next year? Maybe oin a Christmas album or recording in London like Christina?

Incidentally, Trynece is appearing in a play with Jackee and both K-Lo and RJ have CD's coming out. Apperently Nikki is recording presently and staying out of the public eye with the deliberate intention of distancing herself from AI. So they all seem to be doing well in spite of not being favored by the AI TPTB.

And obviously no amount of 19E pimping could help Justin's CD sales.

In fact, Clarkson is such a megastar that her debut single, the double A-side release "Before Your Love"/"A Moment Like This," set a Billboard Hot 100 chart record previously held by the Beatles, for the biggest leap to number one, when it skyrocketed from number 52 to the top spot in October 2002.

Do they create records for everything in the music industry? Do they rank the records in importance? Is it more prestigious have the record for the biggest leap to number one or to debut at #1? If Clarkson is a megastar for holding this record what would you call the person/people who debuted at #1?


It's a piece of cake. Kelly, sore throat and all, can hit almost all of the notes she reaches for

If she can't reach ALL the notes why doesn't she just change the musical arrangement of the songs so that it doesn't include the notes that she is hit or miss on. I might be harsh but I don't give points for trying and some of her "almosts" can be painful on the ears.
