Wednesday, February 11th, Idolizing Idol

There aren't a lot of shows that I record anymore, but this is one to which I have been faithful since discovering it three episodes before the finale of season one. I generally work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I rush home on Wednesday and Thursday mornings to watch it on the DVR. A couple of the seasons I got mad when my favorite was voted off, as in the Fantasia season when Latoya London was canned about 5 from the end. Also, Jordan Sparks year when Melinda Doolittle was voted off. I quit watching after that in protest. I'm sure that made a huge difference in ratings. Two of the seasons, I picked the winner from the beginning, which was Carrie Underwood and David Cook.
This year, there are a couple of stand outs for me, but no girls have really caught my eye or ear. I like the guy from Milwaukee that is the "church music instructor". I don't know what that means....is he a choir director, or a worship leader? I have never heard that term. I also like the guy with the punk hair, black fingernail polish and big rings. He is a stage actor and Simon criticizes him and says he is too Broadway. I like the blind guy, but he is a better pianist than a singer. I really like the guy that sang "Georgia" with the keyboard last night. But girls? None, so far....we will have to see. The girl that thinks she is the best singer since Ella and has a laugh that could clear rooms has got to go. I'm thinking they are keeping her because people will watch just to hate her....I know I do...
