As a family, the best way we've found to pass the time from January to May is by following American Idol. Last night season 8 kicked off with the first in a series of auditions shows. I know that some people don't bother with these early installments, but we really don't have anything better to do. I'm not sure if it's the show, homemade popcorn with extra butter, or staying up late, but our kids really look forward to it. Since it's something we can do together that doesn't require me to play Clue Jr. or War...I'm in!
I don't want to dwell on last year, but my early pick was Michael Johns. I really liked him in the beginning, but even I have to admit he didn't do well as the competition progressed. I found a video on youtube of him with his band Film with a song called Get Away. I know he looks like a Frat boy from Madison circa 1986, but I would have downloaded this song from iTunes.
i get into AI when it's down to the top 12. i just can't stomach the bad auditions anymore.
