Do we HAVE to do this again? The hyper coverage of 'mormon boy does good', of superlatives like 'uplifting' and 'inspiring' again?
So called reality tv is a part, whether or cause or symptom, of the dumbing of the nation.
Please cover the news, instead.

Ah, come on! Rejoice in the talent Utah offers the world. And with a name like Charley Jenkins - that says country star all over it! : ) And, let's not forget that two of the top 20 finalists on "So You Think You Can Dance" are Utahn's. Give me all the news, including the accomplishments!

No, No you don't. A very simple solution. Don't watch, don't listen, don't read, and most importantly, don't complain again.

I love to watch the LDS contestants. They make the shows they are on sparkle. Good luck to Charley and his family. We need people with standards in the entertainment field...so we can turn our radios back on again. Have you heard some of those lyrics? Bring ON a LOT of LDS entertainers!

No

What have you accomplished in your life?

If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Do you think this is unique to Utah?

David Cook had people from Missouri, Kansas and Tulsa
bursting with pride and claiming him as their own.

What kind of negative world must you be living in?

Get a life!
