Never before has a movie captured the reality of what America stands for today. If we ever wanted a final closure to the debate on Art imitating life or life imitating Art - This was it folks. Art imitates life and life in America sucks.

After two seasons of music, some amazing performances, some amazing personalities, I have found my closure with the show - American Idol. Despite all the hope I nurtured, the love I gave and shared, l today have been betrayed. Betrayed by the illusions of truth, fair play and a greater good for all.

There is no American dream. It has lost it's arms and legs just like Anakin Skywalker did. It has been reduced to just one spirit -that of power fueled by greed and anger. The melting pot of wannabes has thrown up yet another Sith Lord in Carrie Underwood, the champion of America's despotic and self centered spirit. Simon Cowell has found his apprentice and he has thanked America for 'finally listening to him'.

What happened today was a shame, a travesty and no, I will not be a good loser for the good loser won!

Bo Bice:
You are the most amazing, refreshing, talented and spirited performer I have ever seen. You have given me countless moments of pure joy and gratitude for the spirit of human kind. You will always be my Idol. You will always have my vote.
I thank you for the songs, the music, the smile, the outfits, the shades, the suits and the hats. Most of all I thank you for sharing your spirit. I am so glad you did take your mother up on that bet.
I am counting on what you said the other night: I will stay out the longest to hear you, even if I am the only one left.
Thank you.
