Hello! I wanted to ask the guys what they think about shows like American Idol (and its British counterpart)? Do they feel that it provides an opportunity for undiscovered talent or is it simply a shameless ratings ploy? Eagerly awaiting the new album, Susan Milliken

NICK SAYS: "I guess everyone has the right to make a living and thankfully we all have the right of choice, which includes ignoring things. And that is what I have chosen to do with regards to talent (?) shows. However, my major objection is not that they exist, because they do cater for some people's musical desires. It is that they should have a separate chart so as not to mingle with the other artists."
