    It's good to watch all the loons on the auditions though!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Toto - what is it you like about Randy Jackson ? I find him rather irrititating - all the yo yo yo and 'slang talk'.

    I dislike them all. Someone recently compared it to the Victorians going to the asylums to laugh at the lunatics - and I can see the similarity...

    You got a hot thing going for "Randy-type" blokes?

    He's a legend. He's played on or produced a phenomenal amount of great tunes. He is one of the gods of rock :)

    And the way he talks is just representative of where he came from (Baton Rouge Louisiana) they all talk like that :rotfl:dawg :D

    I'm pretty upset that they have gone and put bloody victoria beckam as a judge on American Idol this year. I really don't know if I can sit through that.
