Some Enya fanboy: SOS is ok, but their sound is so synthesized. I like Enya better because she's got such a natural sound.
Swing Out Sister fanboy: You DO know that Enya is 100% synthesized, right? I mean even her vocals are enhanced by computer. She can't even tour because her sound is impossible to create outside of the music studio. On the other hand, SOS has a 10-peice band with all real instruments with one of the best keyboardists in the world.

Get the Swing Out Sister mug.The woman who literally wrote the book on etiquette. Also used as an antonym for anyone who has bad manners or doesn't care about manners.

Get the Emily Post mug.A singer reknowned for her "natural" sound, even though she can't tour because the only way to duplicate that sound is in a music studio. Even her "beautiful vocals" are enhanced by computer.

Get the Enya mug.A flowering plant found in damp areas of the foothills of mountainous regions in Europe and Asia. It is a member of the buttercup family.
The roots of this plant are a powerful neurotoxin. A piece of the root half the size of a grain of rice can kill an adult human within five seconds. The military has adapted this neurotoxin in gaseous form for chemical warfare.
In Roman times it was used by the lady Lydia to poison anyone who posed a threat to her son Tiberius becoming Emperor. She even used it to kill her own husband.
Diluted, the roots can be used topically as a local anesthetic and numbing agent. It is an active ingredient in many over the counter nerve pain homeopathic remedies.

Get the wolfsbane mug.It's rigged. I mean think about it... over 60,000 people supposedly try out for it and yet they have so much early footage of people who make it to the top 12...
And they purposely let absolutely horrible singers through to see the judges, because mocking bad singers is a huge attraction to the show...
Also... notice the unusual balance of the runner ups and winners of the show... I mean first season... an attractive white young female wins - runner up is a young white male, then a large black male - runner up an geeky looking white male, then an average sized black female - runner up is a larger younger white female, then another attractive white female - runner up attractive white male, then an older white male - runner up a young white female.
In order to maintain this balance, I think the winner this year will be a young black male or female... and the only one who really matches this is Jordin Sparks. Go Jordin! Even if you were already selected to win, early on.
Despite being rigged though, it is pretty darn entertaining, if you don't have anything better to do.
