Yup, it’s true – I do still watch American Idol. Why not. And this season has been pretty great so far. I’m blown away by the number of talented singers this year, and by the fact that there aren’t any singers who make you cringe and shake your fist at the screen.
I’m hard pressed to make any predictions of who might win, since the contest truly seems to be a week-to-week thing, but I will list my personal favorites – the contestants who I’d like to see continue on to the end: Michael, David A., David C., Carly, and Brooke. So if those guys can hang on to the final five, I’ll be psyched.
And now I’ve got to stop writing, since George Clooney is due up on the Today show…
I’d have to agree with you on that top 5. Last Tuesday, every one of them kicked (I didn’t see Brooke, but she is usually very consistent). It was great to see artisty, talent and passion. That’s what is great about this year’s show – there are some major artists there who have definite visions of who they are and what they want to communicate. In the words of David Essex – “rock on”.
Man. I just don’t get American Idol. They all sound the same to me. But then, I don’t get a lot of things. Sigh.
