When I started working at JDub, I kept this dark, deep secret from my co-workers. I thought, if they knew, I would forever be banished, especially working at a record label. But, every year, I count down the days until January….until it starts….that’s right. You know it….American Idol! I’m a huge fan! Last year, I even dragged my husband to the American Idol tour in San Diego when I was eight months pregnant. It reminds me of when I was a kid and was a die hard fan of Star Search. Maybe I subconsciously wish I could sing or had the confidence to be on a stage. Either way, I might have to blog occasionally over the next ten weeks about the contestants in Season 8. If you’re a fan, feel free to make yourself known.

So, poor little Jasmine Murray (aka Barbie)  got voted off this week, but followed by that performance by Kanye West-I forgot about her already! What a score for Idol to get Kanye on the show; usually their guest stars were HUGE–in 1972! In the choice between Jorge Nunez and Anoop Desai (aka ‘noop Dog), I couldn’t help but think that the show is in danger of losing all of its minority contestants. I really like Jorge but he chose a terrible cruise-ship song.  But he might have a handicap:  are they current with mainstream American pop culture in Puerto Rico? He should have sung in Spanglish.

I could comment on the mostly unintelligible comments of the judges but I will leave that to another Idol post. For now, it seems that Adam Lambert (whom my husband hates for screeching and chewing the scenery), Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds and Alexis Grace are still the frontrunners.  Let’s hope the producers don’t pimp them too much over the next several weeks.  Also, can we get a fashion consultant backstage to help these kids dress?  Is that asking too much?
