American Idol Conspiracy Theory
Sorry folks, but I gotta write another post on American Idol.
Seriously, I think the producers are a bunch of mean people. On the Top 3 performance night, they are so purposely guiding the viewers to vote for a David vs David finals. I feel really sorry for Syesha. Here are few comments on the show tonight:
1. It's almost a 2 hour show.. and you know how they say that you'll only remember the first person and the last person (like back in my presentation skills class, the instructor always told me to pick the first slot or the last slot), well, guess who got stuck in the middle? Syesha.
2. In the tradition of the songs pick by the judges, usually the person who got Simon's song choice will get the best comment from.. Simon, of course. And you know how viewers almost always follow Simon's opinion. And guess who got Simon's song? Not Syesha.
3. So, every TV pothead knew that David Archuleta is almost guaranteed a spot in the finals. He's 17, cute looking, and very much is the favorite of the 16-25 female group, which is the largest group of voters. So, he's 99% safe. However, David Cook is not safe. So, in order to make the David vs David finals, the producers will choose songs for all contestants. David Archuleta gets a lame choice of song, but still okay. Unfairly, David Cook gets the best song of them all (a very legendary one indeed), Aerosmith's Don't Wanna Miss A Thing, now.. if you're in the top 3 of American Idol, of course you'll be able to sing it well, no need to be great because the song itself is already a great song. So, who got the worse song of them all, which is also the least popular song of them all? Syesha.
It's a very cruel show. Especially, the judges seemed like they are specially tasked to guide the voters to choose David A. and David C.
Okay, I think it's time for me to get a life.

Mr. Gates & I
Well, this is my second encounter with Bill Gates. I've seen him speak (live of course) last year and again yesterday. Although yesterday was my first photo session with him. At this rate, who knows? Maybe he'll invite me for a BBQ party at his house next year.
