well, looks aren’t everything… because if they were, then janell wheeler wouldn’t have gotten voted off _american idol_ last night. she was definitely the most attractive girl on the show. so that’s too bad; i would have liked her to stay longer, but america didn’t seem to share my fondness for her.
