If you didn't know, I am a huge American Idol junkie. I have watched every episode since Season 1 ... even all of them through the super sucky Season 3. I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of reality television, just the ones that require some talent. So, American Idol and Dancing with the Stars have been my two TV shows that are on my must watch list. Now that they are both over I will catch up on LOST and be ready for the season finale next week.
I have been a big David Cook fan since he did a stellar performance of Eleanor Rigby in the Top 12 Week. I found myself each week becoming more and more of a David Cook fan. The deal was sealed when he sang Billie Jean in the Top 10 week ... it was amazing.
LOL, now for a funny. Gabe is standing next to me and was rather upset that David Archuleta didn't win and told me to "Type that guy (David Cook) out and make David Archuleta win." Oh, what a funny kid. David Archuleta is still a winner and I'm sure the label deals are already flying in for him.
Oh, and I totally called it when I said to Steve in the tryout weeks that the dude in the white hat and coat would be on the finale ... sure enough, Renaldo Lapuz was out singing "I am your brother, your best friend forever ..." in the finale and accompanied by the USC marching band. You can even download the video for it on iTunes.
I will have a sneak peek of an adorable little guy later today ... stay tuned! Enjoy!
