I'm trying to pay closer attention to American Idol this time because my stand partner in the church band talks to me about it every time I see her! I've never really followed it before. From Tuesday I liked the blonde girl from Texas who sang a Martina McBride song, and I liked the young woman with the short hair, who went last (she had a strapless dress on) - who the new judge also really liked. But I missed Wednesday because of church band rehearsal.
