That McPhee bitch has the whole doe-eyed, naive innocence down to an art. I have a bad feeling she will win ...

hee hee, i shall try not to go anywhere... for too long, anyway! i have a feeling these last 3 weeks of school (plus the looming FIRST CONCERT - EEK!) is going to be the death of me. so far i have a 98.5% in math, but i think that tomorrow will be the first time that i will be unable to turn in homework on time, and she doesn't take late stuff... so that's a HONKING detriment.

ha ha, sorry, ran off on a tangent there. whoo!

what i MEANT to say, was that i haven't watched much since... um... the top 6 or so. i stopped caring all together when chris and elliot were booted.

but in the meantime, i shall worry about my OWN rawk-stah-dom.

What America Idles needs is the ability to call in and heckle them on live TV, then it might be interesting.

Seriously, short of Kelly, who seemed to have a really slow burn start and the spectacularly regional fame of Clay, who of note has walked off the show?

i think..

i think that girl will win because she can flaunt her sexuality to the T, like all women performers.

that young guy with GRAY hair?? puhleese... I don't even know his name. well, then again, i don't know the girls name. NOR can I tell you (in order) who all has won American Idol outside of Clarkson, and Fantasia.

Re: i think..

In retrospect..

I think I always liked Taylor Hicks because he was so atypical of what you would think would be chosen, where Katharine was more like teenage girls and such would love to model after. Plus Taylor totally looks like someone who would hang out with my friends. And I love how he totally accidentally applied for American Idol.

Much like Jordin Sparks this year was turned down in L.A. and won a local contest after that to go up to Seattle and audition again, where they took her that time.

I just love odd twists of fate stories like that.

It was a purposeful typo at the time, because of what a headache all the hype ends up being.

Except this year, where I was totally emotionally vested into it for the first time ever. (I was a Blake girl, I was. But still love Jordin.)

Just kidding also about the go away thing, but I just don't watch tv anymore.

I shouldn't. Well, I guess I should say that I don't actively watch tv, but have it going on in the background as noise that I sort of pay attention to, but not massively.

I think you can watch it here eventually, you usually can. They seem to show both one produced here, and the one you got. I don't watch it though.
But don't go away, and if you do, please come back soon.
The only thing I can stand to watch lately is Mythbusters.
Because watching TV means leaving the computer, and I need the computer both for work and play these days.

I love Mythbusters, as well as Dirty Jobs. I just love the sound of Mike Rowe's voice, I do.

My computer is downstairs, so I always have SOMEthing going on in the background for tv. NOt that that's a good thing.

I've never once watched that show. Or the apprentice, or survivor... I hate reality TV!

I totally hate reality tv, too, there are very few of those things that I will watch (though my brother makes me get into Big Brother every year!), which is why I was totally shocked that I got so into AI this year.

I haven't really been following the show.. mostly because it conflicts with other things going on in my life. That being said, I think the show should be more like survivor in which you vote off the worst instead of voting for your favorite. I just feel that the winner of the show has certain 'intangibles' cause people don't necessarily vote for the 'best' performance every week. Instead, people vote based on alot of other factors. Some of those other things have nothing to do with how well they did singing a particular song. For instance, Katherine (in my opinion) has not had alot of real strong performances.. and yet she made it to the final two? Why? cause of the demographics of people that are likely to vote for her. And I believe that Katherine will get more votes out of the 18-30 crowd than Taylor. She's female, fairly attractive looking.. can draw a wider audience with singing a kind of country and pop mix of songs.

I've probably rambled enough.. but that's my thoughts

I totally agree on that. I mean, hell, look at Sanjaya! But anyhoo.

I was just so stupidly in love with it this year, my two VERY favorite from the very beginning ended up being the top two this year, so I was happy either way. I did see Blake do a performance after the show where he sat with a guitar and a loop machine and did really fantastic things. I saw a guy at a local place here a few years ago do that, he was from Seattle.. makes me wonder if I saw Blake live long before the fact?
