OKay, I watched it. Well, parts of it. We were flipping back and forth between it and an animal planet show on how tourism is destroying Hawaii.
Anyway, there was one young man who was talking about how he had not yet kissed a girl and he was 19 years old. He had a key on a chain around his neck and his father had a heart on a chain that held a space for the key. The idea was he was saving himself for marriage and when he got married his father would give the girl the heart on the chain and that the wedding kiss would be their first kiss.
The editing attempted to make it seem "creepy". Ryan Seacrest made fun of him and when the young man went in for his audition, the judges all made fun of him. He sang reasonably well, but they still didn't send him to Hollywood. The final comment from the judges was that he needed to kiss some girls and become a man.
Good grief! No wonder we have unwanted babies, abortions, unwed mothers, and an off the charts divorce rate. This young man was a bigger man than Ryan, Simon, or Randy! Way to be role models guys!

Easy now Momma. I know you girls would be the recipients of the lust of all the boys tainted by this one public statement but this is why we have devoted Moms like you (and myself) to keep an eye on things.
That young man got his 15 min. of fame because he came up with a story that caught the editors ear. If he didn't have some kind of story they wouldn't have given him a second of film or digital image.
I personally don't watch that type of program. I tend to think watching someones dreams dashed or people publicly humiliating themselves for a few seconds of fame embarrassing at best.
Kudos to the young man (and his parents)for having moral values.
I think that is what will be remembered (hopefully) in the long run.
