American Idol. It’s taken five years, but we’re finally getting into it, looking forward to it. talking about it. Enjoying Simon. Cringing at his nasty insults. Agreeing with him most of the time.
I was mostly unimpressed with the females. But there were a few I liked. My favorite, since the San Francisco auditions, has been Katharine McPhee. Tonight she sang a knock out version of "Since I Fell For You" and I think she will win my VOTE.
She’s only 21. But her mom is a voice teacher and her idol is Barbara Streisand. Look, she’s not
Fionaapplenorahjoneslucindawilliamsbethortonmarthawainwrightnataliemerchant or any of my other faves.
But she’s good.
Paris Bennett and Lisa Tucker were also great. Paris is only 17 and she did an incredibly confident "Midnight Train to Georgia."
Thanks for the Katharine mention… I mentioned your blog on my site: http://www.katharine-mcphee.net/

thanks for your updates on all things American Idol – and Regina’s retirement, and 8 Below – a really, really good children’s flick – and enjoyable for an adult companion as well. I think there was one nod to the christian fundamentalist in the film – a huge yellow cross in the middle of the antartica. But, It is Disney, after all. They actually had a plug for Heineken – But mostly, Fresca. And one nice kiss between a man and woman. Worth a trip to The Pavillion – avoid broken seats.
