why am i hooked?

so, i never in my wildest dreams thought i'd ever be watching american idol religiously, but that is in fact what my tuesday nights have become. this is the first season that i've watched from the auditions on. i got hooked around country week last year....when jordin sparks just blew everyone out of the water on a martina mcbride song. i remember getting goosebumps.

but this season. i kinda wish i had placed a bet with someone in the beginning because i have thought david cook was amazing since his audition. i just wanna go bowling with him, you know? boy has got skillz and i hope he wins, though in saying that i've probably just doomed him since nobody i cheer for ever seems to win it all (though i had picked jordin after the aforementioned martina number so maybe i'm only lucky in american idol).

my female pick is carly. and not just because she's got smith in her last name :) the lady can sing, but she really makes interesting choices in wardrobe.

and if michael johns makes the top 5 he owes it all to queen.
