The Pulse of America

Back when I chose my favorite American Idol contestants, I had no idea that millions of Americans were making the same choices. Somehow I had the pulse of the nation because my top four are now the last four standing.

Who knew that America would vote for a prematurely-greying spastic Joe Cocker wanna-be?

Who knew that a shaved-headed hard rocker would make it this far in a pop competition?

Who knew that a big-eared, crooked-toothed shorty would wiggle his way into the hearts of America?

I didn't know but I sure hoped they would. The only one that's no surprise to me is Katherine. Her qualifications were present from the beginning.

It should be very interesting next week.
