Teen idols — Osmond advises Archuleta to 'ride the wave' and enjoy

Who cares??

It might surprise you to know that some of us are not even watching American Idol. What day is it on. What channel?

A bigger waste of space is someone writing "Who cares??" when obviously lots of people do or the story would never have been written.

I watch it for background as i am doing other things on the Computer. Its a real dull season this season. However so isen't TV in General. Old Law and Order reruns and Cops, Americas Most Wanted are the shows that attract me. SNL is having a good year and I am a huge fan of Chapell. The only movie I have seen at the movies this year is Juno. I was about 12 when the Osmounds hit it big. Donny has hung in there and gone with the flow, his career has had its ups and downs. I have always been a huge fan of his. I feel somwhat bad for his sister. She seems to have come out the other side of her storm and appears to be doing better. We care because these people although they do not know us we know them and invited them into our homes on a weekly bases. Even daily if you consider the Talk Show and Donny's Game Show. I did not see the reunion show. They are aging well, the rest of us should age so well. We care because we can and it is not a waste of time.

I asked to know who cares, but you signed it "anonymous". Not very helpful to those of us who want to know for whom this tripe is written.

Some of us do care about someone or something more than ourselves. News doesn't always have to be about who killed whom, but can simply be informative. Those of you who don't care.....get over yourselves!!!

Who Cares? I care. I care a about what Donny Osmond is doing and what he has to say. I have been a Donny & Marie fan since the mid 70's when they had their television show. It was great entertainment, something we need more of now.

As for American Idol, I enjoy watching it, but I haven't been stuck to my television every time it has aired. I have taken more interest in it since I heard about David Archuleta being on the show, and because he is doing so well. I will probably watch the final programs and even vote for one of the contestants...not because a few of them are members of the LDS Church, but because they live in my home state or my daughter's home state.

I am only one of millions of "Idol" fans. The show helps young people develop and improve their singing talent, and it provides a great experience for them whether or not they win. If it weren't popular, it wouldn't be on the air. Let people enjoy what they find entertaining. If you aren't interested in it, there is no point in criticizing those who are.

wasn't there just a story on this?

A amall ASIAN girl is missing and we waste our news on the Osmonds or American Idol? Yep, our values are int he right place.

The Osmonds have done a great deal of good.

I love Idol. What a great show! To those who don't, Get a LIFE.

exactly. Why do we waste our time on worthless "news"?

I would like to know what Donny and Marie think about the war in Iraq. I think it would be important for us to know.

If you like 'Idol', watch it....if you don't, don't watch it. "WHO CARES' needs attention folks, but goes about it the wrong way. Don't feed him, just ignore him.

Good article. Fun, and a nice smile to begin the day. Donny would have killed the current crowd on Dancing with the Stars - I hope next season's group is as easy.

You know, there's usually more than one news story at a time. It's possible to read about multiple things that are going on.

A little girl has gone missing, and where did you hear about it? On the news. The same news that's reporting about David Archuleta. Neat how that works, huh?

That's the great thing about the news - you can get informed about as much or as little as you like.

I read about the missing girl. I also read about American Idol. The purpose of having news has been accomplished. Too bad some of you can't see it that way.

You may not have kids. I have a few and I am concerned with who they choose as role models. Donny O. has enjoyed fame and has remained grounded and true to the faith. He has developed his God-given talents and shared them with all. THAT IS IMPORTANT. Not everyone is so totally bored with life as you seem. By the way..what on earth can I do about war in Iraq, or about climate change or about gang warfare in Detroit or wherever. I focus on my own family and other matters where I need to be a positive influence. I am involved in my community where I work hard to try to make a difference. By the way, the LDS faith is in actual fact a global family. We really do care about each other due to all we have in common and all the good we can do worlwide for those less fortunate than ourselves.

Hi everyone!
I am a guy from HONDURAS in Central America. I do care about what David Archuleta is doing in American Idol. Actually I have been writing some articles about his performing in that Reality Show since he has a Honduran connection (his Mom -Lupe Archuleta- is a Honduran women). I Think that if you want to know about Irak's war or whatever bad news there are a lots of channel that give you this information... but not everything has to be bad news, people being killed in a stupid war. I agree, we can't ignore what is happening around us, but I also believe we have to exalt the good things like talent and the good gifts God has given to people.
About Donny'd performing I can't give my opinion since I haven't seen that show.
May God bless you all and give us wisdom to know what's His will for us.
Hugs and my best whishes from HONDURAS "The Heart of America".
Keep smiling!

Hey its good clean fun for the family to sit and watch unlike some of these stupid shows that are on now..

Is Brooke White mormon also?
