Stop the insanity: do NOT vote for Brian Cartwright

By Tangotiger, 09:43 AM

It is my wish that no one votes for Brian Cartwright for BPro Idol.  Once he is out of the competition, he gets hired right away.  (What, you mean BPro will make sure to NOT hire him until ten weeks has passed?  Who in the world waits to hire proven talent?) As it stands, his talents get wasted as they give him ten contrived topics whereby he is put through a ringer, like a frat house hazing. 

Alternatively, I’d like to put Will, Christina, Goldstein, Sheehan, Clay, et al through a BPro Idol.  Brian is at their level, if not above already.  What exactly is the difference in talent level between Eric Seidman and Brian?  It is condescending on BPro’s part to evaluate him as if he’s some unpolished, unpublished kid.  Brian is already a star.  Give him the 1000$, and be thankful he’s being a good sport in being forced to go through this.
