Pick any subject and the result would be the same because I think horseracing in particular attracts opinionated people.
That's why I've found it so interesting following this stupid show with everyone here. It's insane to me how some people find fault with singers I think are flawless, and how some manage to like singers that I think are horrendous.

It's too much fun.

Brian...what disagreements do you have with my rankings this week...I assume you disagree with my lofty positioning of Haley...just wondering since you haven't commented!
I agree that Melinda is the best Idol has seen so far, Carry Underwood second and then Kelly...all of whom I love by the way!
I also think that with Melinda, Jordin, LaKisha and, to me at least, Haley, this is the best group at the top...other years have been deeper!
I predict that Melinda and Jordin will be stars, LaKisha and Haley have a chance down the road, who knows what will happen with Sanjaya.
I still maintain that Melinda is no more "professional" than other singers with 10 or more years of singing in front of audiences.

I never commented on your rankings because if you check out the "phone-in votes" I gave each performer, they essentially coincide perfectly with your rankings, with only Sanjaya being one spot lower than Blake last night.

I had zero beef with your ranking of Haley last night, she tied for fourth with Gina and Chris R. on mine behind Melinda, Jordin, and Lakisha.

I do disagree with your lofty positioning of Haley on any week thus far where the "sex kitten" angle didn't come into play. Any week outside of those two weeks, a ranking outside of the bottom third was over the top for me.

Yeah, I agree that's her element...she must stick to that. Thing is, it can be adapted to just about any genre unlike Blake and his so-called "cool" persona. I think Haley has a future but I won't be surprised if she is voted off tonight...Phil deserves to leave and, of course, Sanjaya talent-wise but the bottom three will probably be Phil, Haley and either Gina or Chris. We'll see!
