Idol

O.k., so I know I haven't posted in awhile. It's just that I really haven't been motivated too, and anything I want to post on, I really can't. (There's some really big legal stuff going down with a student of ours.) Plus, its tournament time for basketball so our daily schedule seems to change every day. Today, we only have a half day of school, and we are doing the schedule backwards. (8th period first, then 7th, etc.)

So, my favorite part of American Idol has finally started. Now we get to see who of the contestants really could be a "star". Over the last 2 nights, I really thought the men did better than the women. In particular, I enjoyed the performances of Michael Johns (the Aussie), and David Archuelata (sp?/the kid). The women did ok. I must say though that the worst of the men, could have equaled some of the better women. Yeah, I know that some of the women were sick, and I hope voters will consider that so we can see the contestants perform at full health before giving them the boot.

Prior to Tuesday, I thought that Simon had been sipping some happy juice. Well, it appears that he is off the happy juice now. Some comments may have gone too far. When listening to him, I always try to listen for the content, and ignore the rude manner in which he presents it. And sadly, overall, I think Simon is correct. However, I would like to see him be less rude and more mature when he delivers his comments. Randy also has some valid points. I just ignore Paula, unless I think the contest needs an emotional pick-me-up.

I can't wait to see which contestants end up knocking our socks off.
