I’ve been waiting and waiting for American Idol to start back up. Pathetic, really.
The day it was coming back on, I called Daniel to see when he’d be home. I asked him if he knew what was happening that night. He said, “Uh, the most greatest thing in the history of the world?”
That distracted me. What exactly did he think was happening that night?
“Doesn’t your show start back up tonight?”
He knows me so well.
I was watching tonight and Elijah was strumming on his guitar on the couch next to me. He said something but I shushed him. Then I realized what he’d been doing. “You were just playing along with that singer?”
“Yeah. It’s easy to figure out and predict pop songs.”
Can’t remember now exactly what song it was. Possibly “Summertime.”
And now thanks to one of those last auditioners I have this song stuck in my head:
(Elijah groaned when that guy made it through. He said there are kids just like him at his school who carry a guitar around and “play like this”—he strummed two or three chords softly over and over–”and then they say it took them a year to write it!”)
So far I don’t really have any great favorites, except the Mormon guy from last week and um, I forget who else. The hill billy girl was awesome. Oh wait here she is:
Her singing starts at 1:50 or so. What can I say, I love hillbilly music. Don’t believe me?

I loved the final 5 American idol group medley last night. It was a pity to see Aaron Kelly got rid of but I do believe the others were better singers so he needed to go!

I understand American Idol winner Lee has recently signed up to RCA records. I can’t wait to buy his upcoming album.

I think Donald Trump would be a much better American Idol judge than Harry Connick Jr. – Trump isn’t afraid to express what he thinks and can be as controversial as Simon Cowell.
