It’s interesting but dishonest that you don’t mention he does give advice about having a career in music so you can at least make a living doing what you like even if true stardom isn’t likely. It only about 85% of the article.

I’m sorry, as you appear to be a Yank opposed to universal healthcare, what my brain processes when I read your words is: ‘Mmmmmmnuuuuurgh! We no want free doctors! Free doctors baaaaaad! Duuuuuur!’ Because you’re a fucking idiot.

Taylor Hicks seems to be doing quite well. He’s been touring with Grease to excellent reviews, and doing shadow tours on the side. He’s made a lot of new fans, and his video of 7-mile Breakdown is extremely popular. I understand he received offers for other acting jobs, also. I have heard that his first album with 19 Entertainment didn’t do as well as anticipated (only 850,000 ww) because two groups of his AI fans didn’t buy his album – the 25 yr. olds and under who looked upon Taylor as a popular contestant only but were not interested in purchasing his kind of music. The second and largest group were people past 60 who, for the most part, buy only albums that invoke past memories, such as Time/Life or PBS.

Yes, I remember Chris Sligh. Very talented with a dry sense of humor. I wish him the best of luck in his career and life.

Enough people die on waiting lists in the UK waiting for care. That’s why the UK’s cancer mortality rate SUCKS. I’m talking breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer and brain cancer.
I would know too, my best friend lived emigrated to the UK years ago, was diagnosed with breast cancer, and was informed that she had to wait 6 MONTHS for a MAMMOGRAM. Of course, Russell Brand may not know that. Since he IS tits, but doesn’t have any.
Yes all political parties are crapfests. They are. Period.
Its the part where ELECTED officials REFUSE to listen.
Sort of like the Labour’s WASTING UK TAXPAYERS MONEY THROUGH PORNO ACCOUNTS.
However; 2 things remain true.

There is no such thing as a “free lunch”
There is no such thing as “free medical care/doctors”

Wait, what? How did an article on American Idol lead to ‘Mmmmmmnuuuuurgh! We no want free doctors! Free doctors baaaaaad! Duuuuuur!’. Idiots.

You know what, this Sligh-guy isn’t too bad. Nice song there mate. I’m skinny and I don’t love Jesus persay, although I do admire him. I still can’t write or sing a song worth a shite next to Sligh but I am very good looking. Maybe I can get a record deal!

Halo actually, the article I linked to in my comment was critical of Obama for being willing to break one of his campaign promises regarding the insurance mandate, not praising him. However, thank you for caring.

Really Josh, Jimmy makes good points?
This summer Obama had his friends in the media call anyone who did not support his healthcare plan “Un-American”, “Nazi” and “Racists” all because they choose to exercise their 1st Amendment rights.
These friends are also recipents of bail-out money.
NBC/GE = 10 Billion
NY Times = 2 Billion
ABC = 120 Million in advertising alone, for Obama’s Healthcare Day.
A little more investigation on the Fungus’s part may, may be in order.

But the Magic Obama is going to end “rudeness”, great. Then can he instruct those around him to STOP calling people Nazi’s????
Just sayin.

Chris Sligh isn’t telling us anything we don’t know. We know its rigged, we know he ‘s chubby and loves Jesus. C’mon

Please Jimmy,
Whatever that substance is your are smoking – please send it my way….

Its obvious that you have maybe burned 1 too many braincells.
For the record, the HEIGHT of rudeness is when you inform someone that you do not care about their opinion and their MANDATE is more important than what the vast MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WANT. As in the 65% of people WHO DO NOT WANT OBAMACARE
Rudeness = Obama

Take your mandates and shove em.

Consider me well and truly put in my place Jimmy Fungus. But just as a matter of defending myself slightly here, I was not CHARGING Chris Sligh with being “fat” or “loving Jesus” – those are simply the facts. He is fat. He does love Jesus. You can read into them what you will, as I see you have… the rest of your observations were decent points, well made. Thanks for the comment.

Oh well Mr. Hecklerspray or whatever your name is…that was kind of an unnescessary kick in Chris Sligh’s testicles. Alright, let’s look at the charges you present here…Chris Sligh is “fat.” Well, Lank Handsome, I don’t know if you have looked in the mirror either lately, Prince Charming, but neither one of us will be dating Megan Fox anytime soon, so let’s leave the picking on fat people to Simon Cowell, and Eminem.

Ok here is the second charge which you present in your column. Chris Sligh “loves Jesus.” Ok, well who doesn’t love Jesus. Jesus loves you. Why don’t you love him? Jesus is a nice guy. I mean come on now. That was a cheap shot.

Ok, let us now examine the 3rd leg of criticisms which you have used to build your supper table of vitriole. Chris Sligh makes “pointless” or obvious observations. Well, maybe they are obvious to you, Buster, but to the majority of us Americans who still don’t know what the hell they are doing they are obviously not so obvious or we wouldn’t be serving Burger King whoppers for a living to the likes of you!

Fourthly, I apologize for going on and on like a Kanye West speech at the VMA’s but I only have one more thing to say. President Barack Obama and new American Idol judge Ellen Degeneres have joined forces to put an end to rudeness, meanness, nastiness, and just all around stinky behavior. See here:

http://jviz.blogspot.com/2009/09/obama-american-idol-megan-fox-michael.html or

hereObama Supports Mandate (maybe) but opposes rudeness, American Idol feud (Ellen vs. Simon), Megan Fox wears a bag, Michael Jackson’s new movie, Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face”, (also “Big Man Japan” movie review)

So, I would be careful there Mr. Josh Bart. The times they are a-changing.
