That is why I hate the American Idol bullshit....they don't work as hard as the big named bands to get where they are today...instead they get it handed to them as if they went out and bought them a new life style. I understand that everyone has there own thoughts on everything but if you think about it most likely it will become clear...I for one don't care if he worked with dead people or not...in a way that is interesting because most people would not be able to handle a job like that in the first place...I think they had something special for a goog while and even now they are not that bad. I can't say to much about the company they keep...although that might become even more clear to them one day. Just think who is exactly judgeing them people that do not have music talent or people that can't handle a more honest appeal to the world about people and situations in life....this is a thought for others to think about.
