I was perusing the American Idol pages on Wikipedia last night and it seemed like everybody on there had a run it over pot - Taylor Hicks being one of them.

I do know that his video has been #1 3 weeks in a row at WH1 because my kids told me.

On the 14th they announce the 12 males and 12 females. Week after that (Feb 20/21) it starts: Men on Tuesdays, Women on Wednesdays. You know what I don't like about this is what if one particular group is stronger than the other. What if there are clearly 8 men better than 5 or more of the women as an example. It means 3 really talented guys go home because you have to have 5 and 5. This could be vice versa too. Just a pet peeve of mine about the show.

She used to play gratis for our Gay and Lesbian Student Union on the grass in front of the bookstore at my college when she was a nobody, I knew then she'd be a phenomenon and I wanted to quit school and become her promoter. I shoulda done it! LOL. 'Course I wasn't even old enough to go in the bar she used to play in but still.)
