yep, it's true. nothing is original anymore, if only for a moment. everyone copies everyone. is there anything left to copy? nope, now everything is back from the 70's - flashbacks everywhere. that's the way it is. and it's ok. :) I've got bigger fish to fry.

OK, props to toeless_joe_jackson, (must be the cousin of shoeless joe).
We DID have talent shows (voted by the public) here in the US way before Idol, but it still doesn't excuse bashing our friends to the north, when WE have ripped off the UK's shows for YEARS now...

First was "Arthur Godfreys" talent show, then "Star Search", Then the Brits "Pop Idol", then American Idol.
Canadian Idol?? Where do they find singing cows other than already famous ones like Celine Dionne?

uh, American Idol isn't original. We were not the first to have that show...matter of fact, we weren't the first to have a lot of shows we have now.
