I really would. She became very popular very quickly. She has had numerous number one songs in the US and in the UK. She was the first winner of American Idol. And it isn't watched only in the US. I have lots of friends that live outside the US that watch it all the time. I don't really watch Am. Idol but she is the first Idol contestant to have a number one hit in the UK.
Well, I don't watch American Idol. I don't follow who's got the number one song. So she hasn't done anything of interest to me.
Driving a pickup across the english channel... now that interests me. If she had done something like that, I probably would have known who she is.

I wouldn't expect everyone to know who she is. But I would expect most people to know or at least have an idea.
 
the news section is cut out. it's difficult to understand what they're on about without the context and almost certainly impossible for non-british to understand. not to be rude but lots of jokes about british comedians and presenters who are mostly not heard outside europe. :eek: eg, people they have the strongest tendency to refer to include bill oddie, david attenborough, michael parkinson, adrian chiles, graham norton and etc etc

boys also like to joke about certain parts of britain, among their favourites are yorkshire, norfolk, cheshire, colchester, "the north"

Thanks! I get what you mean; I haven't heard of a single one of those people (or places). :D

I think this sums up most peoples view of him:

Enjoy....

Ouch! That's pretty harsh.


If you were being sarcastic or were kidding, forget this. But if you weren't, WHAT KIND OF A SICK MIND DO YOU HAVE? How is that "Awesome!" Again, if you were sarcastic or kidding forget this.

You are aware that the video is a joke right. Dry British humor. I'd almost bet that Clarkson himself made it. It's hilarious.:p

Yeah, obviously! :D I'm just a huge Top Gear fan and hate to see Clarkson made fun of like that, no matter the intent. Well, maybe not a huge fan; I started watching it like a month ago but wake up early every day to watch one episode. It's addicting. I love the hosts that they chose. Each one has a unique personality that, when combined, makes for a GREAT show. Hammond's so... small :rolleyes: and has a great sense of humor. On the other hand, Jeremy is really tall and loves power and making fun of the other two (jokingly, of course). Then, there's James. He's a little on the shy and quiet side, and always makes the wise choice. Ahhh, good old Top GEar!

Oh, ok. The video is awesome though. :D
Of course, so is Top Gear!
