American Idol

It's only a couple of hours until American Idol starts so I thought I'd go ahead and let you in on my thinking about this season's competition. To begin, let me say that it was not the strongest group we've had to choose from; however, the top 3 are pretty good. I'm going to do 2 things here:

Number 1 - my pick: Melinda should win. She's the best singer in the competition. She's actually one of the strongest vocalists they've ever had. She doesn't have the star-quality that others have had, but the girl can sing. No 2 ways about it. Blake should stay through the finals. Jordan should go home this week. (I can hear the moans all the way from here, but she's so young. She will grow up to be an amazing singer and entertainer - she's almost there. It's time for her to go.)

Number 2 - my prediction: Melinda and Blake will be in the finals. Blake will win (by a hair). The guy is just too cool. He's also very talented and the most creative artist they've ever had on the show. While Melinda is still my choice, Blake is much more marketable and will sell a bajillion (sp?) albums. America will choose him. I won't be mad - he's really good.

There you have it. I've been wrong before, but I think that's the way it'll go down.

I found a really great worship album this week that I didn't know about before. It's called Gateway Worship - Living for You. If you like Hillsong or Desperation Band kind of stuff you'll love it. Gateway Church is in the Dallas area. Have a great Tuesday night. I'll be looking for post-Idol commentary.
