now america votes

And no I’m not talking about presidential politics. Now’s the time for America to start choosing their next Idol. For the most part I’m not sure that the populous vote works on artistic endeavors but the show has certainly made some stars. Some sell records, some win Grammys, think Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, oh and then there’s Jennifer Hudson and that little thing they call an Oscar.

But that’s not really the fun of the show. We’ve now narrowed it down to 24 and starting next week we’ll get a night of women’s performances and then a night of men. I have to say I wonder if the performers who have been more greatly featured in the profiles to date will already have a greater following or if the performances will speak for themselves.

Personally, of the men I dig that Australian guy. On the women’s side I’m more torn, I like that girl who lost her voice, the rocker/nurse girl, and the Irish girl. I suppose I could learn their actual names, but heck why bother, they could be eliminated next week. And in fact as I recall it is always pretty clear right away that a few of those put forward just don’t have the stuff in the fuller format.

So stay tuned. I will, at least for another round. Oh and if you care who specifically the top 24 are you can always check out Idol central at http://www.americanidol.com/
