American Idol Obsession

I have to admit that I'm obsessed with this addictive show. 

It's sad that I've let the Fox Network lure me in year after year, but alas, I'm back again.  I can't help it. 

This year, from the girls, I absolutely love Brooke White - she is classy, cute, completely genuine, and is a great throwback singer to the days of Carly Simon.  She's so unique to this competition, and I'd love to see her stay around until the end. 

I'm having a harder time with the guys.  I like two them.

How can anyone not love David Archuleta, the incredibly cute 17-year-old kid who, last week, gave one of the most amazing vocal performances that Idol has ever had?  He's awesome, and is way beyond his years in singing abilities.  My roommate and friend, BOB, is completely enamored with Archuleta.

My favorite vocal performance so far, however, has come from Jason Castro, who, like Brooke, can play a mean guitar.  The judges don't like him all that much, perhaps because he insists on using his guitar on stage or because he's not all that cute.  But Jason's Jack Johnson-like vocals and excellent instrumental skills impress me, and his non-Hollywood attitude and demeanor are refreshing.  Consequently, I'm pulling for him to win the whole competition, although I know it's probably a long shot.

Some of the other competitors are worth noting, primarily the super flamboyant Danny Norriega and David Hernandez, the male stripper turned singer.  I have to give credit to www.votefortheworst.com for all of my photos of Hernandez.
