		<description><![CDATA[This article made no sense to me, in regard to Kristy Lee.  She&#039;s definitely cute enough and she&#039;s got a great voice.  Just listen to her without the video.  What in the world is this writer talking about?  I don&#039;t get it.

		<description><![CDATA[Any excuse to rewatch Idolatry is a good one, y&#039;all. I am just shocked the Chinese didn&#039;t just build an actual robot cute little girl, cause that would have rocked. It&#039;s not lip syncing if you&#039;re actually wired, is it?
Actually, BTW,  the Idol finale I would have liked to see would have featured Kristy Lee versus David Archuleta, dueling it out with &quot;America Frack Yeah&quot; and &quot;Shout to the Lord&quot; until the entire stage exploded into a mass of tiny confetti glitter crucifixes and red, white and blue banners shaped like babies, and huge fireworks that spelled  out Texas and football and Mom.
The the Rapture would happen, and Simon and Ryan and Cook and Slezak and billions of Chinese and all the godless Sodomites would turn into salt and Archie would sing the redeemed people up to Heaven with his pure, sweet voice.
Kristy, too, on her pony.
I&#039;m just saying.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sorry, Gary.  This is why politics and entertainment should probably never be mixed.  You think you&#039;re going to make some innocent Kristy Lee Cook jokes, and then the next thing you know, you&#039;re debating cultural differences with a complete stranger.  I apologize for contributing to the tangent.

		<description><![CDATA[Was I really just called an &quot;apologist&quot; on an EW comments section?  Kari gibb, who are you to decide what&#039;s better for people?  The U.S. has its fair share of problems.  It&#039;s far from perfect.  If I had to choose between living in China or the U.S., yes, I would choose the U.S., but that doesn&#039;t make it better.  If people are happy where they are, what gives you the right to judge them in such a heavy-handed manner?  It sounds like you&#039;re part of the reason the U.S. is becoming a nation of people who lack respect.  You feel you can impose your opinions on whomever you want with no regard for their views.  And your last comment about the U.S.&#039;s word having more credibility than just about anyone else&#039;s is possibly one of the most ignorant things I&#039;ve ever read.  Since we&#039;re Americans, we&#039;re capable of being more truthful than the rest of the world?  Are you mentally deficient?  I didn&#039;t &quot;cleverly mask&quot; anything.  I just have the ability to look at things from multiple points of view.

		<description><![CDATA[stephen, LJ, Wojo.... you are all off your rockers. If dare to bring in the &#039;Americas standards aren&#039;t the rules&#039; card, then lets do that.. and bring in the WHOLE idea. Which is the greater nation, America or China. Thats the argument you are skirting. China has been around for thousands of years and is dirt effing poor. As a political system, it blows. As a society, its narrow minded and restrictive. They consume technologies that they never would have developed because of its own design.
America is the opposite of all that..young country, most modern technology was developed there because its society and government are NOT outdated, restrictive, byzantine, or generally sucking.
That being said...the real comments you apologists cleverly masked is that China&#039;s inability to be embarrassed IS a shortcoming, not a cultural difference. They fail at a lot..a lot. America is the greatest success story in the past 300 years so don&#039;t go thinking they aren&#039;t allowed to ever say they&#039;re the best and apply their thinking and judgments on other societies. If those other cultures want to be old and outdated, fine... then we&#039;ll call them as such. Personally, I think such cultures should be deprived of modern technologies like the cell phone, they refuse to change and grow so why accept them as equals?
China tried scamming the world on this one. If Americans want to call foul, they certainly have that right. Their word carries more credibility than just about anyone elses.

		<description><![CDATA[Mells, I saw the Idols last night too! We must have been at the same stop. I wasn&#039;t a fan of Kristy&#039;s until yesterday, because she was so sweet during the meet and greet, and I definitely would have taken her performances over Ramiele&#039;s anyday. AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED MECHAGODZILLA! Part of the greatness of watching Idol was watching Idolatry afterwards.
