Idolfest 2007

Miss Jordin Sparks swept it! I'm sure she'd have done so with or without my 12 votes (wish I could've gotten in more but I met lots of busy signals right up 'til the end), but that still puts me squarely on the winning team. Beatboxing was hot hot tonight though, no doubt securing Mr. Blake a nice recording contract of his own. Lori joined us tonight for margaritas and we rounded out the night with Shrek 3, which was all the laughs and cuteness I expected, though I wouldn't say it's necessarily the must-see sequel #2 was.

On A Clear Day

On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You’ll feel part of every mountain sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you’ve never, never heard before...
And on a clear day...On a clear day...
You can see forever...
And ever...
And ever...
And ever more. . .

Sweet Moooosic

Phil Stacey probably isn’t the next American Idol (sorry, his voice is lovely but there’s very little “YO!” factor for me, dawg) but I would like to give him a hug and pinch his cheeks. And his return jab at Simon Cowell tonight did make him all the more endearing. In case you missed it, after Simon’s thumbs-down review of Stacey’s rendition of Carlos Santana’s “Maria, Maria”, Stacey shared with all of us that his daughter recently received a stuffed cow and promptly dubbed it “Simon Cow”. Perfect!
