SUCH A SAP

OK, here it is... an out and out confession. I get teary eyed when I watch American Idol. Seriously... not all the time, but some contestants really tug at my heart strings.

This season, there are three of them... so far.

1. The Cryin' Cowboy.... he's just so sweet and so sincere.... I know that he won't go very far. I almost feel like he got to Hollywood by virtue of the fact that he's never been on a plane and Paula just wanted him to experience some new stuff.... yet, I still can't help rooting for him.

2. The Little Boy.... there's this really young kid who sang Josh Groban's "You Raise me Up" in the auditions... I got teary eyed as soon as he began to warble... he's just so young and so cute and so talented. Again, I'm not sure he'll go very far... but he has a better shot than the Cowboy and again, I'm rootin' for him.

3. The Adoptive Father.... he's that kinda' rocker guy with soul and during his audition, his wife told us how he deserved to go to Hollywood 'cause this is his dream and he's given up a lot to be a great father to her 2 kids. He's got talent and I love the back story. It made me so happy when he kicked ass in the first episode of Hollywood week. He has the best shot out of my sob stories, but I certainly don't think he'll run away with the title....

Of course, there's always people to dislike.... right now, for me, it's the twins.

Seriously, you guys aren't even gonna make it past Hollywood and you're talking all kinds of smack about how the people put through to the next round are so terrible. Screw you and your superiority.... I can't wait for you to get cut so we don't have to listen to your stupid tangents any more.
