Ding Dong the retaaaad is gone!

I shouldn't be embarassed to say this, but oddly enough, I am. I am... an American Idol FANATIC. I watch this show religiously, and have been for all three seasons. Kelly Clarkson was my choice for the AI1, Clay Aiken was my choice for AI2 (don't even start my weird obsession w/ him) & right now, I'm still a little unsure who I want as the winner of AI3. I will say this for sure... am I ever glad that Matthew Rogers is gone! Sing it w/ me... "GONE! Baby, you're... GONE"

Don't get me wrong. I'm sure that Matt is a nice guy & all, but there was just something about him that has always irked me. Well, that & the fact that I didn't think he deserved to be in the top 12. Lisa Leuschner deserved to be there more than he did. I don't know if it's that he tried too hard (to be funny or goofy), but it just BUGGED the crap outta me. It just seemed unnatural to me for some reason. His performance of Amazed was horrendous. Ok... he probably is a better singer is. OK... he *IS* a better singer than me, but the 1st verse always sounds so wimpy, as if he's unsure of his talent. I don't know... The chorus is much stronger though.

2 down... 9 more to go! Who's next to go? If Camille doesn't get her act together, she will be saying Sayanara next week. *&* may I just say... thank GAWD that AI is no longer pre-empting 24. It's about time that show comes back.
