I could be watching the NCIS finale on CBS -- an episode sure to pack an emotional punch. Or I could be watching the Cubs take on the Dodgers within the Friendly Confines. But I'm going with the American Idol finals. And I'm not sorry.
Crystal is really in a special place tonight. Lee DeWyze is my sentimental favorite, and I wish he'd sung "That's Life" instead of "The Boxer," but he's redeeming himself right now with "Beautiful Day." Touch me … teach me ...
Crystal is in the zone. Can't wait to hear what she sings.
I'll switch to the Cubs game at 8:00. (4th inning, maybe?) Comcast On Demand should begin showing the NCIS finale tomorrow. (All I have to do is avoid Googling for spoilers.) And I'll continue thoroughly enjoying Crystal and Lee.
And Simon. I can't imagine Idol next year without him. I'm getting a little sloshed on Pearl Pomegranate Vodka in his honor. Here's to ya, Mr. Cowell! You will be missed.
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.
Cheers! Here's to Lee & Crystal!
ReplyDeleteThe twitter peeps were all kinds of fun last night. LOL That's the only reason I'm even watching this year. Crystal did a fabulous last song and I even texted a few votes for her because I heard that Lee was ahead on DialIdol. Not like 10 votes will save her and it's not like 2 years ago when I texted and called for four hours straight for you know who but it's something.
ReplyDeleteShe deserves to win, IMO.
Oh yeah, Cheers!
