Right when American Idol tour tickets went on sale, the show was rebroadcast and Camille was in the tv room, "Mom, David Cook is on right now and I can't believe you aren't in here!" "I'm trying to get concert tickets!" Talk about Sophie's choice. Right as I was trying to buy tickets, of course, the electricity goes out, purchase interuptus. It was only out long enough for me to run around the house once, freaking out. I made Peter look at where our seats would be and he said it doesn't matter where the seats are, he knows I will be running down to mosh pit, if they'll let me in. And yea! I can't wait. I hope it doesn't start three hours late, and that the minister of popular culture doesn't give a long-winded speech before they bring on the singers, like certain other concerts I've been to recently.
I've been saying for weeks that I don't care who wins, just please don't make David Cook sing a mall-purchased cheese ball of a song celebrating this is my now, this is the corniest song of my life that I will forever be associated with. I think the artistic freedom that would come with the silver makes more sense for him, and I sort of hate to see Archie lose. The finals show is going to be shown live here in the middle of the night, and Nina wants to stay up and watch it with me. Isn't she the best SIL ever?
Oh my gosh, I just read that Archie is going to sing Imagine again, and DC is going to sing a U2 song, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. They do listen to us. Unless the Cook camp is just teasing us, which you know they love to do. And let me go on the record now, I am NEVER watching American Idol again.

I don’t get it. Maybe you have to be in Niger to appreciate American Idol.

I stopped watching Idol so long ago that I can’t even remember. I’m hoping this passion of yours is just a sign of homesickness. I mean that in a nice way!

OK, objectively, who do you think won this week? I like both and don’t mind if either win. But I agree with you that it makes most sense for DC to be silver. Last week I thought DC peaked. I admire him for his risk-taking, and tonight, he took the most risk in his song choice. I thought he was good, but DA stuck with his winner and couldn’t lose.

You DO NOT have to be in Niger to appreciate David Cook – believe me! Plenty of us Cook fans in California, NY, the south, the midwest – all over the US!
