so idol last night? i was frightened that it was going to be one giant contest to see who could sing the loudest, most boring ballad until paris came out--all 70s style--and blew them away! she has such an amazing presence. it seems as if she has been doing this her whole life and that "whole life" has only been 17 years. amazing.

lisa and katharine also turned in promising performances. beautiful voices and likeable women. i am holding out hope.

the rest of them? feh. someone needs to slap brenna--claws and all. becky is beautiful but she can't sing and she is working that "aren't i the sexiest" bit a little much. stevie? opera training? i don't see it. that was a scary, scary, song.

bring on the men! my current favorite picks--before tonight's performances start--ace (the prettiest by far), chris daughtry (my favorite bald, singing cowboy. oofah!) and david radford (the young, jailbate, harry wanna-be) we'll see how it goes.

update on my vague "some good news" post. at this point, i know for certain that there will be good news...but...i have a very difficult decision to make before i know what that good news will be. see? much clearer now, yes?
