OK, it's official: I am now into American Idol. And unlike recent seasons, where the end turned out to be a duel between male contestants, I predict this year it will come down to two of the girls. Here are my early favorites:
• Young Katie, who sang "Put Your Records On"
• Lilly Scott, "A Change Is Gonna Come," my favorite the second week in a row
• Paige Miles, "Walk Away"
• Siobhan Magnus, "Think"
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Conventional wisdom has it down to Lily and Crystal. I only saw the last 40 mins of the show but I thought Sioban did a great job! She's just so freakily cute! :)
ReplyDeleteProducers have already alluded to it being a chick this year to balance out the past few years with all male winners. I think the boys get the tweens going and makes for a fun rivalry but perhaps the chicks can do that this year. We'll see. I'm in a AI pool and sucked hard last week. Hoping to do better this week.
