I'm writing this as I watch American Idol. I've assiduously avoided it the first four or five seasons -- just as I've avoided Survivor and The Apprentice.
But I admit it. Now they've got me.
I'm a big Taylor fan. He's such a sweet-natured, original goofball, and his sound reminds me a little of Johnny Rivers. Before tonight I couldn't stand Kat. But she just finished "Ain't Got Nothing But the Blues" and "Over the Rainbow" and she sounds less like a Mariah wannabe. Elliott seems like a nice enough guy, but he doesn't seem at all special to me. Go Taylor. Go Taylor.
And now I feel like I'm one with the rest of the country. All I have to do is vote and then I'll be an official citizen of Idol Nation.
