We admit it, we are American Idol fans. It is the topic of “water cooler” conversation on Wednesday and Thursday starting in January, every year. We love the “Bad” people. We swoon over the cuties (each year we realize how much grosser that gets, as we get older, and they get younger!). We argue over the top 12 (errr…13, this year), then top 10, 5, 3, and finally, who is going to win.
The elimination or "out" list on the sales office window seen from the hallway...
This year the office was divided. I had my heart set on Danny Gokey from the minute he tried out in Jacksonville and was super excited when he made it all the way to number 3 (a mere “poor song choice” knocked him out, but I have faith that he will be back!). Diana was extremely upset when her dream hunk, Matt Giraud was kicked off. She swore she was not going to watch it anymore! TC (and the majority of the office) was rooting for Adam Lambert all the way. None of us ever imagined that Kris Allen would be the winner, but once my Danny got the axe, I was rooting for Kris. He had me at “Heartless”. His rendition of Kanye West’s song was just amazing! I even downloaded the song off iTunes and have been playing it every day on my commute into le•top!
...and the Winner! Neener, neener, neener, KRI-ISSS WOOOOO-WON!

LOL!!! Yes I was upset when Matt got voted off!! And yes I didn’t watch the rest of it!!
I have watched every season and every season my favorite has never won! (except for Kelly Clarkson … I love her!)
I am now a big Matt fan, I’ve downloaded his American Idol songs from iTunes … Go Matt!! I heart you Matt!!
I was slightly embarrassed while writing this post, and now that it is up I am still blushing with embarrassment! It is funny though, how much we get into this show! Now on to “So you think you can Dance!”
My teenage neighbor who had NEVER seen American Idol until I introduced her to it this season was a fan of Kris from the beggining. It had NOTHING to do with his singing and everything to do with his cute factor. OK maybe she said he sang pretty once. She thought Danny was ugly (though I disagree completely) and thought that some of them sang UGLY (I think that was when Adam sang a rock song). The way teenagers think sometimes…….
Danny Gokey is SOOOO CUTE!!!! Teenagers! They have no idea! hahahaha!!!!!
(shhh- don’t tell my husband! LOL)
4 words: I heart David Cook!
Oooo! Me too Jamee! He was my vote to win last year!
