millbank Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 It's gone. A young man has re posted it , with hope they will leave it up.....
Nanker Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Nice, and thanks. What was up with them taking it down - re: "breach of terms of service agreement"? Can't put up a weepy? Or, is it an AI thing?

Tux of Borg Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 28 is the cutoff age for American Idol? Guess you do learn something new everyday.
millbank Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 Hard to know, certainly in this case some slack could be given , here clearly a lovely man who loved his wife. So many folks either in his situation or have been , he sings for many. Given there are many Idol segments on Youtube , Fox being owner of material do pick and choose as to what they will allow. The emotional nature of this precious man, my guess is the Idol program would want to use it to their advantage, having it on Youtube would over expose it , in their eyes. That is one possibility. Nice, and thanks. What was up with them taking it down - re: "breach of terms of service agreement"? Can't put up a weepy? Or, is it an AI thing?
Fezmid Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Ummmh. That would explain it. Lawyers. Yeah, generally.... To millbank's point, I don't know how Fox decides what to allow and what not to allow, or if they only report things that they hear about or what. Lots of companies send letters to YouTube (Google, now) asking them to take stuff down all the time, so that's why I'm assuming it was taken down. No idea for sure. CW
millbank Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 I looked around some regarding Sherman Pore and found that his appearance on Idol struck a cord with many people such that a petition has been started that he perform on Idol 6 Final. There are various news articles alluding to this , here is one them Sherman Pore
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Yup. It's a shame that there aren't that many people in the world like him.
Phlegm Alley Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Gives new meaning to the phrase "til death do us part". Good for Sherman.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 i have no problem admitting that that brought me to tears. and not to stick up for Fox, but they have court-ordered youtube to remove ANY/ALL videos containing clips from their shows. i doubt highly that they targeted just this clip.

I heard another company has done the same thing. Viacomm I think it was. Sherman Pore is a true gem.
GoodBye Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Brings tears to my eyes every time I see that. It's so sweet!
Beerball Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Nice story, though I hate to see Lana cry.
