American Idol

All congratulations to Simon Fuller for importing the telethon concept to America (and even importing in Richard Curtis, aka “Four Weddings and a Funeral” screenwriter and Red Nose Day creator). I only wish the singing had been better. Melinda was great, as always - she has this ability to take a song I don’t know and make me want to hear it. The only thing hindering her I think is the tyranny of high expectations.

Okay, I watch American Idol. And I learnt last night that every female Latin pop song was sung by Gloria Estefan… Am watching Phil, Haley, and Chris in the bottom 3 today. And for once they really were the 3 worst performances.
