So Paris thinks that AI is a popularity contest? What did she think it was? Maybe it's time Paris figured out that popularity has something to do with success in the entertainment business.

I didnt think that Fantasia was all that great looking, Clay was funny looking, Ruben was vastly overweight, none of them were picture perfect. I think having a personality that comes through is far more important than looks in AI. It is about having the ability to sing (ahem) combined with having a stage presence(ahem ahem). But this year may be totally different and we will see someone who cant sing win. I am still going with Jordin to win.

You guys, I just had to share this someplace. My brother and I are in the process of scanning our family's old photo albums, and we both love this one. http://home.comcast.net/~naja3/guess.jpg That's my mom in the pretty flowery dress sometime in the early 70's. Can you guess who she is on stage with? Hint, it's Las Vegas, somewhere between 1973 and 1975

Stage presence is indeed a big thing and for ME I really hate it when singers leer and mug the cameras and that includes Constantine and Sanjaya.

Would he perhaps be wearing purple socks?

Naja, I'm so disappointed. I was all prepared to see Elvis, but now I'm stumped. I want to say Engelbert Humperdinck is on the right but the guy on the left looks almost like Bobby Sherman. I give up. ETA: Penguin, I do know it's not Donny Osmond.

The guy on the far left looks kind of like David Cassidy to me, based on his smile, but I don't think David did the Vegas thing in the 70's. From the fro on the guy behind your mom I'll take a wild guess and say Mac Davis.

Clue: It's a group, not a single known singer

Yep Snoops!..LOL My mom was in the audience and they asked for someone to sing with them. She got on stage and sang "I Left My Heart in San Fransisco" with them. I guess they are best known for doing the theme to "A Summer Place". Link to "A Summer PLace" sample at AMazon

They had quite a string of hits back in 60's. Loved the movie A Summer Place with Sandra Dee. Naja, thanks for sharing the picture. Fun, and your Mom was quite stunning.

It freaks me out that my mom was AI audition age limit in those photos. She would have gone for it for sure if they had AI back then.

About Sanjaya's appearance at the Dodger's game this weekend (they were playing the Padres, btw)... I have no sympathy for him. He's put himself into this position, and he continues to do things to keep himself there. I honestly think he's become a joke. I sorta hope that maybe he'll realize the hair, the alleged sexy looks into the camera (and sorry, but those are creepy looks!), and his mouthing off to the judges are not gonna do much for his popularity with a large group of us (those of us who actually appreciate good singing, anyways).

ppl keep comparing him to teen idols of the past, but his obnoxiousness, ie disrespect and mouthing off to the judges, does not compare to those guys at all.

OOOOOH, Bobby Sherman was sooooo dreamy! I have to laugh at myself when I think of the teen idols pics I had on my wall when I was, uh, younger. Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, Michael Jackson & the Jackson 5 (Jermaine, where are you?), The Osmonds, Bay City Rollers, Paul Revere and the Raiders...but before all that, at the tender age of 4, Paul, John, George & Ringo were hanging on the wall over my headboard. To paraphrase Lloyd Bensen (sp?), I know teen idols, and Sanjaya, you are no teen idol.
