I have never set my eyes on Aishwarya Rai, but I have seen Sushmita Sen, the Indian woman to roam the world as the most beautiful woman in the world.

I saw her during a film shooting long back. How I wished to be one of the judges of those beauty contests where I can have a closer look at all those beauties.

Do you think I am crazy? Well, the wish was granted but in a different way.

Now I can cast my vote online to judge the prettiest american idol

Though I voted for Carrie Underwood who won the title of the fourth season of American Idol, I would like to know your choice of the prettiest among the following.

Carrie Underwood
Jessica Sierra
Lindsey Cardinale
Mikalah Gordon
Nadia Turner
Vonzell Solomon

I have not been following the american idol game show of late due to over work but I was able to catch up, when I was invited by my online contact to participate in this forum.

It has more than 23 thousand posts by 1650 members. I found a wide range of topics in which I have basic interest like music, television and sports apart from the main discussions on American idol.

It has features like interviews with Taylor Hicks, the winner of season five idol. The Taylor Hicks forum alone has 17 threads with a consolidated view of 65k.

Do you know that People Magazine has rated American Idol winner Taylor Hicks as America's #1 hottest bachelor?

I did enjoy reading about american idol past seasons and I felt fully updated since I missed so many shows.

With only two more auditions scheduled for season 6 at Minneapolis on 8th Sep and
Seattle on 19th Sep.2006, the discussions are lively and vibrant.

I remember my days as a freelance music reporter way back in 1975, when I had to organize groups of young aspirants as singers in choir programs in Radio shows. A few of them got lucky breaks and rose to stardom.

In some ways, all those music made me mellow down a lot. Did it happen to you?
