is it tuesday yet? we both know it isn't. AARRRGGGHHHH!

my name is t_cole and i am an addict.

I.NEED.MY.AMERICAN.IDOL.FIX

i am pathetic! i am pitiful! i didn't start out this way!

season 1 - i only watched the very last episode when Kelly beat Justin.

season 2 - i only watched the top 12 - none of the tryouts. clay was robbed, btw

season 3 - hubby kept dragging me in to watch parts of the tryouts. he picked fantasia to win at the beginning. he was right and i have not heard the end of it yet.

season 4 - watched all the tryouts, every episode - including the one when my guy constantine got cut, i sobbed and swore off american idol for the rest of my life. was back, front and center for the next episode. i am weak.

season 5 - sucked in once again. we recorded both nights last week - girls and guys. i have seen each one at least 3 times. once on my own, once with hubby and once (or twice) with my kids. kids love it too but have a 7PM bedtime and CANNOT stay up late on school nights. Mean Mommy, yes, I know. whatever!

so here are my two top picks. for the girls, Katharine McPhee. i just like her. GREAT voice. fabulous stage presence. GORGEOUS! and fun-loving personality. she's my first pick for the gals. my second choice would be Paris Bennett.

for the guys - i am torn. there are several i like. but i must go with Ace Young. first off, he is yummy. i know that is not the best criteria for selecting the next american idol, but it's a good start. he can actually sing. he appears to be relatively unaffected. and the song he did last week, Father Figure, had a line in it about being warm and naked by my side. (yes, he was too talking to me!) woohoo.

i think it was the wise and beautiful Dolly Parton that once said, "I'm old enuf to be that boy's lover."

i always did think Dolly was well spoken...

pathetic, i tell ya...
