If you're a fan of the show, or one who watches it, grimacing at some of the crap they pull, read this blog. Yes, Justin Guarini - he of S1 runner-up fame -- wrote it, but it's damn good. He's a great, funny writer (I've read bunch of his posts, as I'm a die-hard fan!!!), but he also has insight and experiences that reflect so completely on this process because he was there from the beginning.
Ze linkIt's long, but if you're an 'Idol' fan, you should enjoy it. And for those whom I've filled in on some of the crap upon crap that was thrown on Justin after his album came out, you'll definitely recognize those references. Not that's he's bitter, Justin doesn't fly that way. He's a great guy, with a great heart and a great talent.
It's a great read (even if he does spell "sowing" wrong. In this context, sewing, Justin, sewing.)
