American Idol

I have to tell ya, I have been working like a mad woman this week.  I have gotten so much done it's amazing.  I still have a ways to go, but I can tell you that the bears for the online show turned out really nicely.  I have three new little ones and they are so sweet.  Their pics just don't do any of them justice despite photographing them several times on several backgrounds.  I am addicted to making them though.  I LOVE this new size, and I hope you will too.  While I have been working I have been watching a lot of TV.

I have never watched American Idol in seasons past.  I couldn't stand Simon in commercials let alone to watch him on the show.  But when they switched things up this year I decided to watch.  They added Stephen Tyler to the mix, and I am a product of that era so naturally I love Aerosmith.  Besides I figured he could be pretty entertaining to watch.  I was right, he is very cool.  I really didn't know anything about Jennifer Lopez other than she was famous for her posterior.  But I have to say I like how she deals with people as well.  She is sweet and funny and not cruel.  Randy Jackson confuses me.  I didn't even know he was a previous judge and honestly I thought he was just an actor. 

So tonight was the finals of who gets to be on the show.  I had all the guys picked except Stefano.  I thought sure it was going to be Brett.  I really think he deserved a chance on the show.  There was something very appealing and honest about that kid, and I am really sorry he didn't make it through.  I even went online and voted for him.  I never vote for anything like that.

The girls I had a couple of them picked right and I wasn't sure about the rest.  The one that I would have rather not made it was Haley.  I don't know why, her voice is incredible but there is something about her that just doesn't ring true with me.  I can't put my finger on what it is.  So I am going to continue watching for the rest of the season.  I really like Paul and Scott, and I hope they do well.  I like Nayima too.  I hope one of those three wins at this point.

I do admire them all though, I have told you before if I could change one thing about myself it would be to have the ability to sing.  I have no illusions about my voice, it's terrible.  As my Grandma used to say, I can't carry a tune in a bucket.  Neither can R.  We will just never make beautiful music.

Oh well I guess I better get back to what I can make though, and that's bears!
