CSI is great, but CSI: Miami leaves me cold, thanks to my distaste for David Caruso.

I've never much cared for that version either. Miami certainly seems to have a lot of freaky-sex crimes, don't they? Nearly every episode has bizzare sexual twists to it.

The Vegas version isn't much different nowadays. They had the episode where people dressed up in fluffy animal costumes and humped each other. And, or course, the one about midget love.

The father's out of the family so I'd be surprised if you saw a picture of him.

I think Donna Summer just liked working with the kids, I really like that aspect of the show when Elton John/Gloria Estafan/or Barry Manilow will give the kids pointers.

It reminds us that they are still getting better.

My only complaint with Fantasia is that maybe she tries to 'oversell' her breathy, gritty R & B style-she's actually better when she reins it in a little bit.

Is it possible that Diana's mom has a black stepfather?

I dunno, and I really don't care. My reply was to show how stupid the "racism" angle was to begin with. Diana has a very good voice and has a good chance to win, but she has many black features and I thought that early on in the series they showed a picture of her black father.

Never seen her dad on TV, but mom is definitely white

I thought the show was about TALENT and not popularity.

Au contraire, the show is about performers developing a fan base. The producers know that this transfers into future profitability. That said, I hope to see the performers when they go on tour.

One question........Why do they dress all the girls in clothes that are two sizes too small?

They put Fantasia in pants that are so tight that she can barely walk and her stomach hanging out is just gross.

I don't know. It doesn't make anyone look better.

"Jasmine will probably not get a deal right away. She needs serious work, and will probably be ready for the studio long before she'll be ready for liver performances."

Jasmine is cute but not a good singer, she may very well be Don Ho's replacement when he retires....I can see her now singing, "Tiny Bubbles."
