Re: American Idol - What a waste it has become
Lee is from the area I live and work in. The local paper (not a small paper) has done nothing but 2-3 "Lee" articles a day the past several weeks. He is being lauded as a "hero". Are you fugging kidding me?
Guy might have a good voice, but he was a problem guy who was kicked out of high school for assaulting a teacher. Dropped out of the alternative high school they sent him to. His family was reportedly nothing but trouble for local police, but the town (Mt. Prospect, IL) spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on a "hometown celebration" for thr AI cameras and give him the key to the city. Bigger celebration than they ever gave any returning veterans. They asked his high school principal to speak at the celebration in front ot 20,000+ idiots at Arlington Park Racetrack....to his credit, the prinicpal balked at the chance to be seen lauding Lee on AI, instead telling them "I would have nothing good to say...he was nothing but a problem for us".
Enjoy your 15 minutes, Lee....I see you headling at the Tick Tock Inn in a couple years.
