These Are The "American Idol Judges"?

Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell. Not trying to say anything bad about them but just wanting to voice my opinion on who should or would be more qualified.
Let's look at Randy Jackson first shall we.

Randy Jackson was for one as we all know a one hit wonder. He as claims himslf as a creditable record producer but I haven't heard anything from his so called lable that has hit the top ten charts. As far as calling himself a judge to me it shouldn't be. Due to the fact that a judge is an individual with their own thought process on who they are judging and to me Randy Jackson is not that person. A "yes man" does not have their own opinion they agree with what someone else says... all the time.

Next... let's look at Paula Abduls' track record. She has had a few hits... it was some time ago but it was a few hits. Afterwards I really haven't heard anything else about her"as far as music goes". I must admit she does have a personal inside look at what the contestants are going through in order to make it big but I question her judgement, due to the fact of her passing on some very good "prospects" just because of the majority vote. "Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson". Her other personal business well.... that's her on to deal with I have nothing to say about someone elses inside life. "This is an opinion from a business aspect".

Last but not least is Simon Cowell. To me he is pressured to be the calus of the three. The producers sense that he has that type of personality to give the truth about things. Sometimes in a blunt but professional manner and they probably tell him to be more insulting, more obnoxious just because it sales the show or sales him. I bet he thinks back on some of the things that he knows he didn't have to say. But hey..... the money!? Just becuase of that pressure from "the higher up ladder" he misses out on great talents or gift within alot of the contestants because he just has to belittle people as many times as possilbe within the shows time "he's told too". On top of that I've never heard about him in the american music industry away.

The Battle Between Cox, Dish Network and DirecTV

Now I've had both (DirecTV and Cox Communications) as far as what both companies show on their programming to me it's very similar between the two but when it comes to PPV I must admit that DirecTV has the most selection hands down along with more channels to view just because it's satellite TV. Now on the other hand Cox is better by far with continuos programming without errors such as blackouts because of the ground wiring system that they have set-up.

So if you are trying to weigh the options of DirecTV, Cox, or Dish Network there are a few things that should be taken into consideration. DirecTV and Dish Network has alot more HD channels but additional cost plus hey the PPV is 100% better to me. Cox well... what can I say they have the monopoly on the fastest internet service available and way less blackouts and both can provide a bundle package. Also the rumor is that their HD channels are at no additional cost.

EchoStar Communications/Dish Network must stop selling out-of-market station feeds of ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox programming to 800,000 subscribers, according to a nationwide injunction issued by U.S. District Judge William P. Dimitrouleas in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Because of this matter I would not recommend Dish Network at all.

Now there is the option of other companies but at this point and time I wouldn't recommend them.

So if pricing is the issue that do some research to see what best fits your pocketbook. If it's the quality of programming that you are looking for and you are not worried about the price of the bundle packaging then once again you have to see what best suits you.
