Now that American Idol has ended (and, for the record, not the way I wanted), I can focus my attention on other things. Today, the news is surrounding Susan Boyle, who has been the shocker on Britain’s Got Talent. For anyone who has yet to see her on the news, this is a frumpy looking woman with a beautiful voice. She got many eye rolls from the audience as well as Simon Cowell, who we ALL know as the “evil one” from American Idol. In his defense, at first glance, she honestly wouldn’t LOOK like someone you’d buy a CD from….but she can belt out a song like nobody’s business! She made it to the second round in the competition and will sing in the show’s finale on Saturday. I have to say, I’m rooting for her. Obviously, being in the US, my opinion doesn’t count, but I really hope she wins it for all of us who are older and don’t fit the stereotype. Listen to Susan’s talent in the semi-finals where she brought tears to the eyes of the judges! (and being a CATs fan myself, mine too! beautiful job!)

Anyone who has known me for any amount of time knows that I’ve been an American Idol fan since Season 1. I was sitting on my big, fat, pregnant butt watching as Kelly Clarkson was “crowned” in 2002 and now, fast foward seven years and we’re approaching the Season 8 Finale. I’ve followed this season from the auditions and, although Adam Lambert wasn’t my first choice for the winner, he’s my favorite of the two remaining contestants. He did, however, produce one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard on AI
Adam is super talented and his career will take off after he wins American Idol, which he’s sure to do, since his remaining opponent just slipped in sorta accidental-like, knocking MY number one pick to third place.
I have to take time in this blog to mention MY pick, Danny Gokey. I followed him from the auditions and fully expected him to nap the top spot (at the VERY least, second, but he totally should have taken the whole thing). He got some of his best comments on his “What Hurts the Most” performance, but I really, REALLY like the job he did on this one:
Should have made the finals!! Either way, tune in to see who wins Wednesday and remember, we haven’t heard the last from Danny!
