American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent. If these programs show us anything, it's that Americans crave attention and judgement more than anything. And the more marginal your talent, the more attention you'll crave. The only problem is, there are SO many attention-starved, marginally talented Americans and so few judges of marginal talent. I mean, Simon and The Hoff can't be everywhere. That's were the DoF Superstar Showcase comes in. Each week, the DoF writers will select 3 contestants with a questionable supply of talent and an unquestionable overstock of delusion.
You, the DoF faithful, will then select the week's winner by leaving your vote in the comments section and emailing your vote to diaryoffools@hotmail.com. Why email too? Because everybody who votes in the DoF Superstar Showcase is entered in our new monthly T-shirt drawing, and we kind of need to know where to send the prize to (along with sizing info, etc.)
So, let's meet this week's Superstar Showcase participants, shall we?

All rrrright! And the Showcase is ON FIRE! And speaking of fire, ladies, make sure you have a fire extinguisher around for our next performer. He's guaranteed to leave your panties smoking. He goes by the name of Roy Al, and as he'll explain in the video, he'll be rocking you with his own distinct flavor he calls "Fresh Alternative". Performing his original song "I Found a Girl", give it up for Roy Al:
So there you have it. Vote early and vote often in the comments section and via email for your chance to win official DoF merchandise.
