    I watched the US version a few times and it was too excruciating. Too many contestants picked for the physical package and not the talent.

    Britain seems to be able to do the opposite. Bravo for them.

    This is the first season's winner.

    Just inspiring. The song is one of my favorites, and from her mouth, the words are so much more meaningful.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Happens too often, and not just on American Idol.

    That was just awesome. And so brave of her to put herself out there, on a show where people can be cruel. She knew she would win them over.

    GO SUSAN!

    American Idol is a joke. If they don't have age limits in Britain why do they have them in our version?

    Because AI is looking for a pop star....geared towards the teeny-bopper audience. So they want a young star to click with a young audience.
    Paul Potts...this woman....BGT is looking for a completely different niche. You'd never see an opera singer on AI.
    Besides....it's well known that America idolizes youth.
