How charming. Maybe next time they ought to clear it with you first next time before booking any talent, seeing as how you're an authority on who does or doesn't deserve to be there. It's ok if you're not a fan, I don't expect that she's everyone's cup of tea, but there were many others that enjoyed her performance. I'm not particularly a fan of Beyonce, nothing wrong with her talent, she's an awesome singer but her music just doesn't appeal to me, but I still enjoyed her performance and knew her fans were happy about it.

It can't always be about what you want.

They were both great Sugarcoated Jan 2013 #7

Beyonce knows how to hit notes accurately without resorting to runs to try and fake it. KittyWampus Jan 2013 #25

I beg to differ. She overdoes it quite a lot, but she did a great job yesterday. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2013 #44

Yes, she does it, too. Sugarcoated Jan 2013 #48

It wasn't her choice. proud2BlibKansan Jan 2013 #90

She has a fine voice but I still have trouble taking anyone from Am. Idol seriously as an artist. Gidney N Cloyd Jan 2013 #13

Kelly isn't manufactured at all... she's the real deal. reformist2 Jan 2013 #16

Sorry, but that's about the dumbest thing I ever heard. Phx_Dem Jan 2013 #19

I'm sure that within certain realms of entertainment you're quite right. Gidney N Cloyd Jan 2013 #22

I would say that it isn't just talent though. It's also training. And Clarkson isn't as well trained KittyWampus Jan 2013 #26
