Of course there is

But you still seem oblivious to the defect of reasoning (and pointlessness) of what you said. You can be as passionate as you want, but that does not alter the fact that when you posit your personal like or dislike of something as your premise, the resulting conclusion is not intellectually sound. You haven't told us a damn thing other than that you didn't like the show, its characters, its songs. That's not only superficial but circular and, like I said, I am not impressed.

And if I'm guilty of a "pointless" post...

Then I'm in good company.

That would account for 90 percent of what's written here.

Well I could point out that the songs sound completely derivative and interesting. The Direction pedestrian and slow, the choreography totally ho-hum. The cast, under populated, (2 showgirls in a "VEGAS" show), the jokes tired and the basic premise distasteful.

Is that specific enough of an argument for you. So now I'm trying to "impress" someone who didn't like the show either. Probably for the same reasons.

OY.

It puts a little meat on the bones of your opinion, but you are still oblivious to the fact that your opinion has nothing to do with the question of how Ben could have liked this show. Once again, all you are doing is telling us that you did not like elements of the show that Ben (and others) did like. When you ask how Ben could like the show with all of the defects you list, you are assuming something that we know is untrue: that he and others who like the show agree with your premise. Manifestly, they don't.

Are others here guilty of illogic similar to yours? You bet, and if that gives you comfort, go for it.

I'm actually in the business. And there's A LOT of professional head-scratching going and MANY people asking the same question - so if that makes me "oblivious" - then so be it.

I'm in good company.
