THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!

Are you a fan of American Idol? I am. I have been for years. Every year I put my name down for tickets and I've been lucky enough to be able to go see at least one taping a year.

This year I figured my luck had run out because, even though I checked my emails every day, I did not see the one saying I was picked for tickets.

One should never give up hope! While I was away on my cruise, I did get that email. But, by the time I saw it, I was to late. The tickets were all gone.

However, my sister also got that same email and she was able to get the tickets! We are going to the FINAL show!

I'm so excited!!!! It will be my two sisters, Patty and Maureen, one of Patty's friends, Beverly and me.

So who do you think will win? Will it be Chris?

I like his voice but I can't stand the way he twists his mouth all around when he sings. I also don't think he is much of a showman when it comes to watching him sing.

Yet, he does have a nice voice and has proved he is able to sing any type of a song. Plus the girls seem to love his looks.


Or, do you think it will be Adam?

Clearly everyone thinks he is a wonderful performer. He has shown time and time again how he can pull off the unbelievable task of blowing the crowd away with his use of lights, fire, costumes, fog and yes, even the stairs.

He has never let us down. Week after week, just when we thought we knew what type of a show to expect from Adam, he comes out with something you never dreamed of.

Does he have a good voice? In my opinion he does. Though I'm not sure if it would sound as great when you listen to him on a CD and not watching him performing the song.

His classic high pitched scream he does as he hits those high notes often make me feel a bit uncomfortable. It's almost on the screeching side at times.

I'm not sure who is going to win. I'm not even sure who I really want to win. If I had to pick, I would say Adam. If for nothing else then for his creative mind and interpretations of the songs he sings.

I am looking forward to not only hearing these two great guys sing in person but also to hear/see all the other people who are set to perform Wednesday night.

Will you be watching? I hope so. I'll be sure to wave to everyone, even though I'm almost positive I'll be in the nose bleed section and you won't be able to see me. At least you will know I'm there and thinking of you guys.

So turn on your tv sets, watch and listen because "This is AMERICAN IDOL"
