The best...

I often read "Views from the Street" from the Japan Times Online.  I find it interesting, and can read the opinions of both foreigners and Japanese living in Japan.  I can learn what people think about various topics and issues.  So, I like it.

And, the other day, I saw "The Best of Views from the Street."  There are many interesting and random questions, so if you read it, I am sure you can learn something too.

"The best of Views from the Street"

And, last Saturday I watched "American Idol."  It is a TV show on FOX every Saturday and Sunday night.  It is very entertaining...the basic theme of the show is this-it is a competition for America to choose the best new idol=singer.  This show is not only entertaining, but also very educational for studying English.

I picked up the expression "over the top" from the show.

Can you understand? :"That performance was over-the-top man!"
