Let me the first to say...Who the Fuck cares who wins American Idol????? NOOOOOOOOOOO One That's Who.
Really? I thought the show had like 25 million viewers?
That's really sad when you think about 25 million people with nothing to do 3 nights a week but sit at home and worry about who will win American Idol. VERY SAD.
Even the title of the show is funny!
