The little gymnast who's been letting herself go...*she* needs to work on her singing, but the judges are falling all over each other in their praise of her. I heard her hit a couple of flat notes that they *had* to have heard, but ignored anyway. I suspect something not quite right is going on here.

That's how some singers on American Idol beat out others who clearly gave a better performance. Celebrity Duets is following the same model. There are those viewers who, for whatever reason, choose a singer despite their talent. It isn't always true, but it does happen. At this point, this really more a popularity contest than a true competition. If it were, they would leave it all to the judges. (Although I suspect they are biased against Lucy, but then I am biased for her.) bd -----Original Message----- From: XenaGuard@yahoogroups.com [mailto:XenaGuard@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of mjuiingong Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 8:13 PM To: XenaGuard@yahoogroups.com; Xenaguard; Xena_Kit_9; Xena_Kit_8; Xena_Kit_10; Xena _Kit_11; Whoosh; Officiallucylawlessfanclub; Chakram-Refugees Subject: Re: [XenaGuard] Voting For Lucy Is voting more than once fair? I voted exactly once, I may have been the first person to vote. Putting aside my prejudice for Lucy Lawless, I can still state, in all honesty, that she was the best. That second song last night, she had me tapping away, keeping time, with my pen on pad. That woman is magnificent. They're on tonight I gather. Must see, and I do mean must.
