  • motionblur, on 02/04/2008, -18/+359Internet 1, American Idol 0
  • whatthefu, on 02/04/2008, -3/+198I saw it and I was like "now where have I seen this girl before?" And when I realized I was afraid to tell anyone I was with how I knew about her.
  • noghead, on 02/04/2008, -17/+195I just saw it here in Canada, they must have aired it later here. She looks and sounds great!
  • Ecuno, on 02/04/2008, -16/+132She didn't get there "mainly" because of Digg, sure it helped, but she has a very big fan base already. Plus, she has an absolutely amazing voice.
  • LemmingJesus, on 02/04/2008, -10/+122I find it amusing how Digg users feel the need to beat off at the thought they may have caused something in the real world.
  • LemmingJesus, on 02/04/2008, -12/+103Commence the Keven Rose circle jerk in three, two, one....
  • steveboutin, on 02/04/2008, -5/+94"crash the superbowl," huh?
    looks like the digg effect learned how to crash more than just web servers.
  • nymphetamine, on 02/04/2008, -4/+91http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1CPKhAxPyU
  • trunkster, on 02/04/2008, -2/+87You need to come out of the digg closet.
    .... that sort of sounds bad.
  • ThinkBox, on 02/04/2008, -13/+77an American Idol winner sung the star spangled banner in the begging of the game... that is more significant than the commercial...
  • partysan, on 02/04/2008, -17/+65Ah well, one more crap song before she starts exiting vehicles with no underwear on.
  • LemmingJesus, on 02/04/2008, -2/+42For many Digg users the pulse is optional.
  • condormcs, on 02/04/2008, -0/+37too perfect!
  • zimmbear, on 02/04/2008, -15/+52music wasnt so great though
  • Zaneris, on 02/04/2008, -7/+43Just to clear things up, SHE WON, and her video was played during the Super Bowl. This is a new story.
  • quomen, on 02/04/2008, -8/+41Yeah.. I wonder how everyone feels about the fact that she and her friends created a facebook group that encourged people to sign up for a new digg account and essentially game the system. Still cool right?
    Proof: http://arizona.facebook.com/event.php?eid=63841589 ...
  • thatsmyaibo, on 02/04/2008, -12/+43If she has ***** and a pulse digg users find her attractive.
  • arcooke, on 02/04/2008, -15/+44She's a good singer... but honestly, she didn't deserve to win. I know I'm going to get buried to oblivion by you kids, but had you listened to the competition, you'd agree. And as always, I'm going to get silenced for having an opinion. Bury away.
  • inactive, on 02/04/2008, -3/+30The future of music....is....DORITOS!
  • 46reasons, on 02/04/2008, -3/+29Agreed!

    "DON'T TASE ME BRO!"
    "***** THE RIAA"
    "RON PAUL 2008!"
  • korimickster, on 02/04/2008, -1/+23The video looked great and sounded ok, but I have to say it was kind of awkward how Doritos decided to present her. It felt extremely contrived.
  • unintelligence, on 02/04/2008, -10/+32yeah, half of the lyrics were "bum, bum, bum, bum...."
  • radison2, on 02/04/2008, -20/+42This is the future of music. Presented to the people, decided by the people. If only the majors would wake up and embrace the power of the internet instead of trying to grasp on to an old ***** business model.
  • faithhammer, on 02/04/2008, -1/+23Actually, if you check out her website, www.kinagrannis.com, you will notice the first group of people she thanked were the "Diggers".
  • BadassCheese, on 02/04/2008, -1/+21Nothing makes girls wet like, "I've been a member of Digg for two years."
  • masfenix, on 02/04/2008, -4/+24she's cute.
  • LamChops, on 02/04/2008, -7/+26Alex is cooler :p
  • MaruLono, on 02/04/2008, -0/+18Actually it was pretty cool when i heard someone else say "Isn't that the girl from Digg?" Because that is when i finally knew, for the first time, that there are other diggers out there...
  • inactive, on 02/04/2008, -1/+19She won a Doritos contest for crying out loud!
  • danislost, on 02/04/2008, -1/+19Kevin might like it too much
  • inactive, on 02/04/2008, -5/+22Good job kina. I can't understand why people hate on her. She's doing what she loves and the song worked for people so ......why the hating?
  • thatsmyaibo, on 02/04/2008, -3/+19Sarcasm? I think the AI audience is significantly larger than the digg audience.
  • drac, on 02/04/2008, -0/+15i cant wait for that!
  • Tiak, on 02/04/2008, -1/+15I reply to mbthompson's comment to say this:

    C-C-C- Combo Breaker!
  • rluna559, on 02/04/2008, -9/+22Agreed, the song sucked and she was mediocre at best.
  • pameste, on 02/04/2008, -5/+18Where is the canonical, "I'd still hit it" comment?
  • condormcs, on 02/04/2008, -1/+14real world?
  • airj1012, on 02/04/2008, -4/+17That's awesome. She also got signed to Interscope.
  • hellyes0, on 02/04/2008, -3/+16Congratulations to you, Kina.
  • kevinwiz, on 02/04/2008, -4/+17hate to break it to you but american idol is in its 7th season and is consistently the most watched show
  • PhilMoskowitz, on 02/04/2008, -10/+23I think I just got diabetes from those tunes.
  • Scaryclouds, on 02/04/2008, -3/+16There are some things you don't admit to.
  • aceslick911, on 02/04/2008, -1/+13How is that any more 'gaming' the system than just getting alot of digg friends and messaging them to vote you up?

    its all a game and she may not have had any of the opportunities if she just sat back and hoped her 1 digg did anything. What chance do non-digg-crazy artists hav to make it big on digg if they're all alone?
    Her friends/facebook friends are fans. Fans like her songs hence Digg her up.. wheres the immorality in that?
  • Tiak, on 02/04/2008, -0/+12... or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doD1cuZZDDQ
  • plaunie, on 02/04/2008, -0/+12Yeah... Why aren't there only people exactly like me; with my age and my opinions and who digg things only things that I digg?
    What is this interweb coming to?
  • Tyrghast, on 02/04/2008, -3/+14amazing voice? she can barely sing. but the digg song was very funny, this heart song was very dull
  • dracostimpy, on 02/04/2008, -0/+11Amen to that, Kevmeister! +348
  • CommentPoster, on 02/04/2008, -2/+13I reply to quomen's comment with the hope that he might read it and reply to it!
    Hopefully somebody does the same for me!!!!!!!!!
  • fuelcarddotorg, on 02/04/2008, -13/+23I cant say I was impressed. Noone else in the room thought it was that good either
