Slapinions

Mere moments after the travesty that befell American Idol tonight - with Carrie Underwood beating out the much more interesting/talented/personable Bo Bice - my mother called to gloat.

She is, to put it mildly, a Carrie Underwood fan.

Two words Ma: Jimmy Carter.

Ya voted for him too didn'tcha?

 I love ya, but I can't say I envy your track record.

Trust me, in two years you'll see Carrie guest starring on whatever schlock takes the place of Life on a Stick, just like Reuben "I beat Clay Aiken" Studdard.

And Bo will be pecking Kelly on the cheek and shaking Regis' hand as they congratulate him on his next gold record.

Just my slapinion.

But I am right.

  There's no question Bo is talented, but I think he hurt himself by singing without music.  There is no shame in coming in second (except, perhaps, in boxing -- as Mike Tyson will tell you!).
  
  Carrie has a very nice voice.
  
  I think both of these people will go on to make real names for themselves.

  lol
  i could NOT have said it better myself !!
  i think i managed to watch an entire 2 episodes .. just too much hype and too many commercials for me
  but i was shocked when Carrie won over Bo ..
  besides being in desperate need of a name change .. Bo should have won ..
