I always suspected that John Kerry had an alias. I can't wait for that day and the fun commute it will be with the big line of wannabees blocking traffic. What a bunch of losers, (literally.)

I have been waiting for American Idol to come to Utah! I am so excited!

Great. | 3:32 p.m. June 26, 2008

Now the whole world can see what kind of talent pool we have in Utah.

Every lousy Osmond wanna be will be auditioning for the show. Just another chance for Utah to dust off those old Eugene Gileznick no talents and give the world yet another reason to make fun of Utah.

The people are coming from all over not just those from Salt Lake. Duh! Just you wait and see.

Here I come America! | 4:50 p.m. June 26, 2008

I am going for it; I can't sing but it would be cool to see my self look and sound like a total idot on TV.

I am enjoying the talent that was found in Utah on So You Think You Can Dance, so hopefully there will be some great talent that will come out of Utah for Idol. Face it Utah, you are talented, look at the Olympics, there was so much talent, and it was non-paid. I believe that the tradition of that started on the plains and was encouraged right away in the Utah valley by Brigham Young. Now I am not saying that only LDS have talent, not by any means am I saying that, I am saying that the arts are very strong and thriving in Utah. Good luck all you with talent that try out and bless all of you that may make fools of yourself, if you do, hopefully you don't take yourself too seriously.
