Can you feed Miss Mew® to a tomcat... or is that too 'woke?"

Besides Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, the winners of American Idol haven’t done much of note.

It seems the non-winners actually have had more success overall.

Jennifer Hudson (7th)
Clay Aiken more famous as a runner up.
Daughtry (4th)
Adam Lambert (2nd)

I would say Hudson is the most successful of all of them. Would bet she EGOTs at some point.

If you count a Daytime Emmy, she already has.

Didn't realize. Trophy appears the same to me.

She is incredibly talented.

Also Katharine McPhee and David Archuleta as losers.

As for the winners, a whole pile of meh, although both Jordin Sparks and Fantasia Barrino have been successful.

American Idol really highlights the oddity of who makes it big in music. With all the publicity and help of the show/label I would have thought it would make you an automatic star, but after what 20 years of idol I don’t think I could name 3-4 winners and maybe 10 contestants.
I do remember one contestant Melinda Doolittle who was unbelievable. I thought for sure she would have a big career regardless of where she finished but haven’t heard of her since the show.

What happened to the word guff?

Gone like a fart in the wind.

Last time I heard it was probably someone saying “no guff”, like 25 years ago. Lol

I’ve started using Radio Garden to surf to different radio stations around the world and find that when listening to talk radio from Belfast all the men sound like Colin Farrell.

Radio Garden is my favourite radio-station app. I’ve used it for years.

What does it mean when you are falling a semi-truck and they have signs that say if you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you? When would that occur unless you were tailgating them? And if you are tailgating a semi truck, who cares if they can't see you?

Semi-trucks also back up and engage in other manoeuvres where you could end up in their blind spot.

Yeah, it's quite a fun app. It's too bad that most music is just boring North American stuff. It takes some time to find any colour.

It's not really meant for the people behind, but in the lanes next to them. Too many dummies on the road these days perfectly content to cruise along in someones blind spot, it's bad enough in small cars but a semi truck's blindspot is at least as big as the truck itself

Those people wouldn't be able to see the sign since it's on the back of the trailer and they wouldn't think it applied to them even if they could see it because they can see the mirrors.

Semi's have massive blind spots, including some most folks wouldn't think are blind spots. There are some pretty good pictures out there with zones where vehicles can't be seen. Some 'real life' shots with cars, bicycles, motorcycles, etc.
