American Idol!

Our beautiful First Couple just introduced the show. :bounce:

1. Why?

[nolabear]

3. I expect it's because this is the "Idol Gives Back" Charity event.

But what do I know. I'm West Coast so it's not even on for another three hours. And yeah, I watch. I really like Crystal Bowersox.

[MikeE]

5. That's exactly it

They raise an enormous amount of money for children around the world every year.

2. I guess my husband saw it.

He is in North Carolina and never misses it. It doesn't come on where I am for another hour or so. I don't normally watch, but will tune in for the intro. Thanks!

9. Hey,,,I'm in NC right now too.

And the President and his family are coming this weekend. (To NC, not to see me.)

[GentryDixon]

10. To Asheville?

He is outside of Raleigh in Harnett County. I plan on flying down in May. We have a second home in rural Harnett County where it is very hard to find anyone not "teabagger" mentality. His immediate family is not a problem, but everyone else we come in contact with are typical southern under-educated puppets of Fox News. It does no good to try to educate them to the facts. Futile effort at best.

[FLyellowdog]

11. Yes, Asheville.

I'm in the next country over and it's filled with Teabaggers as well. When I was growing up here, EVERYBODY and their cousin was a Democrat. Not so anymore. Even our Democratic Congressman is a DINO (Shuler). So sad.

4. The true American Idols of the 21st century so far. +1

6. Cool. The charities being supported this year are great.

[FLyellowdog]

7. It's unbelievable that we still have such poverty in our own country.

"Idol" is doing a great job of helping. :hi:

8. The lovely Casey is going home tonight. I just know it.

:cry:

[Nedsdag]

13. Nope. Tim went home.

Casey escaped elimination.

14. ...

[Clio the Leo]

12. How did they sound?

Were they pitchy? (heh)
