I have been in the Hollywood & LA area, near "hot" spots, before and have had paps right out in the middle of the road! They do it all the time. I was not surprised to hear about this accident involving the pap chasing Beiber's car. The surprising thing is that it doesn't happen more often.

ETA: To put this stray thought into context -- Idol fans were mentioned above and I was thinking about how little commitment it take to be an Idol fan. Forcing fans to take OWNERSHIP of music would make the more loyal.
If they let me redo Idol..... I would have the contestants perform, and put the song for sale immediately after the show ends. A purchase would equal a vote. I would use IP address to select only the votes that came from the right place and time -- 2 hours after the show per time zone. I would limit "voting" to 10 per IP address. No more spam voting. And no more negative voting for free. I believe the winner in my system would be very likely to have a better commercial potential than the current Idol crew. Well over a hundred Idol finalists and fewer than 10 are currently really successful. And only Adam, Scotty and P2 have reasonable to great sales from the past 5 years. sounds like you want The Voice's voting system. |

I think Adam lost some fans when he chose to sing pop and not classic Rock and/or ballads. Who cares. Many AI fans probs thought he was going to continue to do covers or something along those lines. I hope Adam's fan base continues to grow from the number's attending his live performances plus TV viewership. I think we sometimes fail to recognize the huge risk he took with being honest about his life because we see past all that -- some don't. He is considered risque. He does challenge the norm. He's great, his performances are solid. There will be a point when more and more people will appreciate the hard work he puts into exceling at his craft. The actual just Idol fans still expect him to sing "Mad World!" Remember those annoying ladies during the Vinyard stream! [img src=" ![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/icon_twisted.gif"] [/IMG] Surprisingly, to most of the Idol watchers, Idol is a TV show. They really don't know about or follow thru to the after Idol careers of these kids!![/quote] In today's news (of fandoms of the world), this is the more comforting kind ... hell, I'll bake them a "welcome back to the fam" cake anyday ... |

And so very logical. Seriously, what are they thinking?  Also sounds a bit like "The Voice." ETA: Ha! Frecklesexual beat me to it. |

Also sounds a bit like "The Voice." I don't know anything about The Voice voting system, but surely making the voting process more fair can't be a bad thing... Well, I'm no expert, but it seems to me that allowing spam voting is a very bad thing in this type of contest. :dunno: #Confused |
