« on: June 18, 2003, 05:50:53 pm »
WOW....

These guys make those American Idol kids look like rejects from a Jr. high talent show...

Amazing dancers, singers, and all around talent.. well except for the rapper guy.. he's a moron that should have never passed round 1...

And plus for the KIISFM crowd Jojo is a Judge.. lol

Too many reality shows to keep up on...I can never remember when or what channel the one's I wanna watch are on, LOL. So I haven't seen that show yet, but I did see a preview just a minute ago, and it actually looked like a decent show.

And it's awesome JoJo is a judge, i've seen him like 3 times now at kiis events i've attended. He is awesome.  8) I love his hair!!

OMG I watched it for the first time last night also!! I loooved when they all sang together, it totally had the theater feel to it, which I love!! This show is sooo much better than American Idol, American Idol get's way too much publicity in my opinion, this show should get more, LOL.

It's so funny, awhile ago I was talking about trends and stuff and how everytime after I do something/wan't something/get into something everyone else starts picking up on it, and I wen't to go see the musical FAME however long ago, and then a few months later this show comes on, LOL. I find it ironic...

Oh and Steph...yes the rapper was horrible!! I changed the channel after a few seconds of watching him, eek! What did the judges say about him? I missed that part.
