Reply #108: it's normal to question. these shows DO do things, so cynicism isn't such a bad thing

considering. but i do believe that the person who said the pre-screeners probably knew she would blow everyone away. but even they couldn't have known the sensation this woman would become. they could hope, but you can't catch lightening in a bottle. it comes on it's own.

My husband is really taken by this whole story. he keeps watching that video and talking about it. it does kind of get annoying after awhile, but I was glad she showed them all. one of the things i don't like about shows like American Idol and o ther shows like it is that they like to make fun of people. they fully meant to do that from the looks on their faces before she sang. and the judges couldn't have known ahead of time judging from their reactions. they were completely floored.
