American Idol, Popularity Contest, and Viral Marketing

April 24, 2008

To the voting public of American Idol:  Huh? Granted Carly Smithson has been taking heat from Simon for weeks, her performance on Tuesday should have been enough to put her through to the next round.  In fact, that song proved that she can have a great time, perform, and not feel like she is trying [...]
