John Stevens - Are you happy he got kicked off "American Idol?"
"I missed the show, but once I heard ... I was excited that he was gone. I just don't think he had the talent."	"Yes. It should have been sooner!"	"Yeah. Pretty much I don't care, so ... I just watch it and let it happen."
The "Va-Poo-Rizer" -- Would you buy it if the product actually existed?
"If I had a dog, yes."	"Probably not. It would probably be a waste of money. I don't have a lot of poo (to vaporize)!"	"Depends on how much (it costs)."
Rumor has it that Linkin Park and/or Usher may be coming to town - who would you rather see in concert?
"Linkin Park. I like their style of music better. I totally appreciate what Usher does, but ... I'm more into the alternative/rock lifestyle."	"No question about it, Linkin Park. I'd go to see Linkin Park, but I wouldn't spend the money to see Usher."	"Linkin Park. I listen to them, that's why."
