Wanted to let you know that
justfanoe is back talking about American Idol, after taking last year off. SO I GOT TO BE THE ONE TO
INTRODUCE HIM TO DIDI BENAMI!
And I assume it's
andthatisthat chatting in italics with monkseal over on
monkseal's wordpress. Excellent commentary from all.
Lauren Alaina's "Candle In The Wind" changed her in my mind from someone with a lot of potential to someone who matters. She found a way to let loose without losing the song's sensitivity. Now I'll be following her all season to see if she can match this.

While in Connecticut I watched an entire episode of the show, the first time I ever had; must say it was hard to get through. Now I'm back TV-less and I'll only dip in, mainly to stay with Lauren, though
Jacob Lusk'll always be interesting (all his skill and the sweetness of his voice has a tendency to dull his impact, even as he shoots off sparks; but when the sweetness and sparks connect there are thrills), and I'll keep my fingers crossed in the hopes that Scotty McCreery's
country trad semi-baritone can grow in emotional richness before he's given the boot.
You all will have to point me to other notable moments.
