You are right about "American Idol". I am ...Maria,<br /><br />You are right about "American Idol". I am not sure what's going on with the "Idol" this season, but in the past, the contestants who did not fit the conventional looks criteria went through a major makeover as the competition progressed. Kelly Clarkson lost weight. Taylor Hicks, who won the Idol, did not really have any commercial success. He was not considered "attractive" by Simon Cowell. Whereas, the runner up that season, I can't remember her name, was able to appear in a couple of movies. <br /><br />I find that we are more critical of our looks. So, I don't think you should be surprised when someone likes you.<br /><br />I know these days I have been swooning over Chris Pine :$, but I find the most attractive trait a person can have is an intelligent brain. Otherwise, I would find them a waste of oxygen.Zanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786906632909587584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106128444376682893.post-91533693678033541452009-05-12T16:16:00.000-07:002009-05-12T16:16:00.000-07:00It's always good to hear about he less attractive ...It's always good to hear about he less attractive people being on TV and getting star roles and such. Every time someone decides that they like me (crushwise) I'm really surprised because I'm not pretty in any way shape or form, and you always hear about guys looking for just beauty. But things like this remind us that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and not just on the outside. <br /> Just saying though, American Idol definitely restricts people based on their look. They'll put someone through if their singing is great no doubt, but if you're beautiful and your singing is good but not super astounding, they'll give you the edge.Maria Sondulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492185058019782246noreply@blogger.com
