It was an okay special, most of the interviews were really more of the same. I don't think the order matters except for number 1 spot. On the list were:
Mel Gibson
The Google Guys
Paris Hilton
Ken Jennings
Michael Moore
Curt Schilling
Donald Trump
Usher
Oprah Winfrey
Most fascinating: Karl Rove

So all the most fascinating people of last year were Americans? Is this a great country or what?

I wonder which one he fancies more.

I wonder which one he fancies more. Whichever has the lower tax rate I'm sure. I think of Mel as American these days, he's worked here for 25 years and was born here.

It was a mediocre special in that the interviews weren't that deep and were quite short (of course if u wanna cram 10 into 1 hour)!!
the most fascinating person of 2004 was Karl Rove.... who is he?
He is Bush's brain basically. Friends growing up, Rove was actually sort of like a mad scientist for politics.... he basically runs Bush's campaign and is the mastermind behind every public move of the President.
Some call him the second most powerful person in the country. funny, I wouldn't know who's the first! :wink:

I don't think Usher belonged on that list at all. What's so special about that arrogant punk anyway? I think he is so overrated, and of course people eat him up.

He is the biggest selling artist of the year!
I always thought Usher was more of the humble artists, but I think some of the success has gone a bit to his head. I wouldn't call him arrogant though!

I could care less about his music but he isnt arrogant at all, he's actually a very good person. I know he went to see a Jay-Z/R.kelly concert, when K.Kelly walked out usher wanted to help out Jay-Z by getting on stage and singing a couple songs, now thats fucking cool of him. _________________"People always want to tear you down when you're on top, like Napoleon back in the Roman Empire" - Dirk Diggler

Does having the first million album sales in one week in the mellunium make him special? Does pairing with the most popular artists around today such as Lil Jon, Ludacris, Alicia Keys, and the Ying Yang Twins make him special? I would say Yes to all of them.

Just be a little more lax on things in the future okay.
