January 22, 200917 yr You know, I didn't see it, because I hadn't yet got home from work, but it sounds like maybe everyone involved INCLUDING AI is being sensitive. We have had MUCH worse representation then some bluegrass bonjo music being played as an intro and AI making a big deal out of "Yall be careful". He wasn't threatening them, but the point of the show is for entertainment, and we may not have found it funny, but someone probably did. Was the guy good, or was he bad? As for how they percieved us..no offense, but this is probably the best look we have gotten lol. There was a show on MTV called "Engaged and Underage" like a year or two ago. It was in Florence, KY, where I live. I swear they could not have done a more inaccurate rep. of us. They showed the water tower, and then a newly turned 18 yr old who was getting married to her much older boyfriend, and they already had a toddler, [may have been like four] and a newborn. It made us look like hilljack city. I had friends call me like "Ew is that really where you moved to?" but it was a totally bogus representation. It's all for entertainment. Kentucky will always get that. Doesn't mean it's okay, but eh.

January 30, 200917 yr Here's my new fave for this year: Yeah, he was funny. Just goes to show that if you come in with a gimmick and little to no talent, you can still make the trip to Hollywood.
January 30, 200917 yr Yeah, he was funny. Just goes to show that if you come in with a gimmick and little to no talent, you can still make the trip to Hollywood. I'm not convinced he doesn't have talent. His "Amazing Grace" was pretty darn good until he went back to schtick mode (although it was funny). The "prop" theory did strike again though when the girl made it simply due to her brother. 2/2 on young kids getting the contestant through.
