Re: Reply to thread 'Jimmy Page & Leona Lewis to duet at the Olympics closing ceremony'

Well I can be lumped into the category along with you Wyatt. Leona who? and 
Beck on AI?
Now is it just me or does this seem a tad cheesy or commercial for someone 
like Jimmy Page to be doing. I can't see much good coming out if this 
myself. I hope this is some kind of misunderstanding actually...
I don't want to see Jimmy rubbing elbows with some overnight sensation that 
would not even be where she is at if it were not for her looks. And that is 
true for any of these "reality/talent search" shows. You never see an ugly 
person win or participate for that matter. Well except for at the beginning 
of these shows when they eliminate the ugly geeky ones to make us all laugh 
at how ugly and geeky they are. Or maybe it's just my imagination and all 
these winners are actually ugly, and I am seeing their inner beauty through 
the sound of their wonderful voices. Yea that must be it!
Dan
