Idol...

For those of you who have invested apart of your life watching American Idol it can be rather frustrating trying to figure out the logic behind America's voting preference. Every season America is blessed with one or two "singers" who suprisingly soar through the competition and not for their talent, but because of popularity. Think Midwest (no offense). Example: Season 3 contestant John Stevens, Season 4 contestant Scott Savol and this season Bucky Covington. Trust me...no disrespect, but if these guys are the best talent in the USA, then America's standards makes me sad. Mandisa (although rumored to have made homophobic remarks in an interview) should've pushed forward based on talent while Ace, Kevin never should have made it to Hollywood.

ANYWAY.....my collegues and I are having an A.I. contest to see who can predict which person will be voted off every week.I was the closest, predicting that Mandisa would be in the bottom two. I now possess the tackiest, A.I trophy candle one could possibly stomach. It's INSANE! Oy!!
