Confession

Yesterday I started a post continuing my adventures of living in Hawaii but today, after reading it, I don't like it, so I'm going in a different direction today.

Yes, I follow American Idol, there I said it.  I haven't been a faithful follower but started watching in season 6 when Star Wars Son announced he was curious about the show and planned to watch the upcoming season.  We do much of our tv watching as a family so we all got hooked.

There are many thing I don't like about the show.  If I watch strictly for it's entertainment value and not take it seriously, I enjoy it, if I think about the process too much it's not as enjoyable.  The first year we voted faithfully, now we don't vote at all... Maybe we will at the end.

This year I have 4 favorites.  Crystal Bowersox is at the top of my favorites, I think she will be a successful recording artist whether she wins or not.  After Lee DeWyze's performance last night he is now tied for my second favorite with Michael Lynche.  Rounding out my top 3 is Casey James *sigh*.  He is at the top of my "omg he is so cute" list.  His performances have lacked that special something... until last night.

Last night was Lennon/McCartney night and Casey chose to sing Jealous Guy by John Lennon.

*heavy sigh*

Enjoy your Wednesday!

I admit. I'm not a reality show fan. No American Idol. No Dancing with the Stars. No Biggest Loser. No Survivor. Give me a little Mad Men or Breaking Bad:)

Wow! I don't watch American Idol. Maybe I should ...

I have never seen it. I think I'm the last person in the country...well, besides those two up above me;)

I admit without reservations I am an Idol fan, have been for about 3 years. I agree that this guy lacks something, not sure what it is. I think he has the mechanics of a recording artist but he lacks an emotional connection. I thought last nights performance was better until he said he was just trying to feel "the jealous guy". At that point he announced to the world he lacked experience of the songs he was singing about. I think a real artist sings about his experiences, that is the emotional connect. He's great eye candy thought, sigh. I love Crystal Bowersox, I think she is the genuine thing, a little Bonnie Raitte and Janice rolled into one. My prediction is it will be her and the eye candy as the last two standing. The one I really liked the best was the blond from Denver that they let go of early on.
