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.
