After last night’s lackluster performance by the guys, the girls have really got to shine tonight. This is season six; I don’t recall a worse start to a season than the one from last night. I was so disappointed in Sundance Head and Sanjaya Malakar – two of my ultimate favorites from the audition rounds. I really hope they make it through this week; I’m guessing Sanjaya will because he’s endearing but not sure Sundance is going to get the votes needed. Part of why Sundance disappointed me so much is that the song he sang is one of my all-time favorites. No, I’m not that old, but that is my parent’s ‘song’ and I grew up listening to it. It brings back fond memories of mom and dad stopping what they were doing to dance with each other. Ahhh, true love.
Now on to tonight – I am confident that Lakisha Jones, Sabrina Sloan, and Jordin Sparks will be fantastic. They have to, or I’ll cry! Yes, that’s it, I’ll cry! Seriously though, those three gals are absolutely wonderful performers and have flawless voices. They all have experience on stage and in front of crowds so I don’t think the nerves will get to them. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we have some amazing performances tonight – American Idol fans across the country deserve it!
