I am a big fan of American Idol<\/a>. As a singer myself, I really enjoy watching the competition and the performances; both the good ones and the horrific ones. And sometimes I even agree with Simon’s opinions. Sometimes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I have been pretty right on when it comes to picking who is going to win. Greg and I had picked Kelly Clarkson out to win on Season 1 from early on. She blew us away with her rendition of Respect<\/em>, and from then on there was no one else we wanted to win.<\/p>\n

After Season 1, Greg lost interest, but I carried on with my fascination with the show. For Season 2 I really wanted Clay Aiken to win. He has an awesome voice. He didn’t win per se, but he might as well have, as successful as he has been. I don’t hear much about Ruben Studdard these days, although Ruben does have one song out that I like: a rendition of Shout to the Lord<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Season 3 I have to admit I really didn’t get into. Partly because we had church on Tuesday evenings then so I missed most of the performances. I didn’t have any favorites. No one stood out. The winner, Fantasia, I was not crazy about at all.<\/p>\n

Season 4 had me back on track. We had Childbirth education classes on Tuesdays during the beginning of the season, but my dad was kind enough to Tivo them for me so I didn’t miss a note. Carrie Underwood won as the American Idol. Hooray for Carrie! She had been my pick since the beginning. Can I pick ’em or what? I didn’t watch the actual finale where they announced the winner though. I always miss Wednesday nights because that is of course the night when Lost <\/a>and Alias <\/a>is on.<\/p>\n

Well, three out of four ain’t bad. Can’t wait for the next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
