American Idol

[iamtherage]

So, Taylor Hicks is our newest American Idol. ::rages futilely into the night sky:: As such, I am seriously considering going to Memphis and auditioning, because clearly talent is not the overwhelming attribute you need, but in fact "likability to moms and grandmas", which I have in spades. The audition is Sunday, Sep. 3rd. This is not a joke

You're an awesome singer! I think it's a great idea. Good luck and have fun :D

You are also a 7 foot tall black guy. That will let you stand out and most likely will get you on TV. So good luck with your decision

Something else to check out too (just in case they decide a tall, dark and handsome duede with a silky smooth voice and oodles of personality just isn't what they're looking for), they're adding a new "twist" to next year's competition - http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060807/en_tv_eo/19699

"While a new crop of pop star hopefuls duke it out onstage next season, a parallel competition will be held for songwriters. Both pros and amateurs are welcome to submit work, and the winning song will be belted out by each of the top two finalists."

Go. I'm with the ladies at work and ordering you. GO. And take your amazing songs with you.

I'm the die-hard American Idol watcher. After 5 years of watching it, I now know the judges like the back of my hand. However, I've never heard you sing so I can't really say if you'll make it to Hollywood. If you do make it, PLEASE get me in to meet EVERYONE!!!!!!
