I have been watching American Idol as long as it has been on. I was thrilled at the talent of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. It seems the last three years have been pathetic.

When I was singing at the Sands Hotel, in my late 20′s I had already been in the business long enough to know the ropes

I know more people who have been to a Daughtry concert, then a Carrie, or Kelly, Ruben, or Fantasia one. It doesn’t matter who wins next week

Someone asked me today about who will be cut on tonight’s American Idol. I said, “Does it matter, they all go and one is left standing. Sometimes it’s better not to win.”

Wednesday night was a special show with guest stars for the annual “Idol Gives Back” show. With a forgettable performance by Black Eyed Peas, Idol was off to a weak start.

Ouch, the first three girls, Paige, Ashley, and Janell, I have 5 students who sing better than these girls
