Now that we're all agreed Adam has star power, I'm going to disagree that he'd have become a star without Idol. I think he'd have always been employed in the entertainment field, yes, but the guy's already 27 years old, not a dinosaur, but on the downhill slide for star-making. So, for whatever reason, Idol is what it took to make him a household name, more power to him, and lucky for us!!! I don't know if he'll win the season, but Adam's career is clearly headed for the stratosphere. And does anyone else just love the way he accepts his critiques?

Re Danny's cheesiness, smarminess, Pat Boonishness: I detect more Jimmy Swaggart/Jim Bakker than Pat Boone. And I still can't wrap my head around the judges' Gokey love. The show loves to rag on Taylor Hicks, but if they didn't know how to market Taylor, who was thoroughly likeable, how on earth are they going to market Mayor McCheesecake?

So Magical, oh yes, the NCIS conundrum! Thank heaven for endless reruns. And Anoop and Kris, sadly for this fan, are probably going to end up cancelling each other out. Especially with the judges now pimping Matt and giving him the pimp or near-pimp spot repeatedly. image

Peach, I hadn't heard the line "Women grieve; men replace" before, but damn if that ain't the truth!
