Your last statement about acceptance is SO true….. ADAM has amazing talent, voice, looks, charisma – the whole package. AND, this is a singing competition. I do hope this year America wakes up and votes for the most talented performer and nothing else.

As for the tour, I thought about Kris’ performance and lack of energy – and it must have been hard for him to follow ADAM after all the screams and signs and obvious love for ADAM by the fans. But, he still should have put more into his performance. The other Idols were great – much better than I expected. Maybe because it was towards the end of the tour, they had their singing and performing perfected. It was a truly great show right from the start with, of course, the exception that I already mentioned. We took lots of photos of all the IDOLS and we have some good ones with the whole crew and individually too. Kris did sing right in front of us also, so we have good photos of him, too.

Love the comments from Carina and Connie – so true…..
Enough of the memories and the tour… I really hope we have a great year, I know I am excited about it especially because I think it will be fun with Ellen and Simon is well…..Simon – I do love him, I always said he is the best judge and he tells it like it is. With this being his last year, it should be even more fun to watch!

I think they have some interesting talent this year, so far, I have enjoyed the try-outs. The “pants on the ground man” was hilarious, and he is really an interesting person. I don’t know if everyone knows why he wrote that song, but he has good reasons; he has been a civil rights activist his whole life. Some fun stuff already.
