Re: Last Night's Show

I have to agree with Chris.  After weeks of Idol bashing I thought Billy 
did a great job, same with Glitter.  There was one thing that I didn't 
like.  The camera showed too many close-ups of non-who performers. I 
didn't pay to see them be the stars during certain solos.  More attention 
should have been paid to JAE.
