well, i'm hooked, have been for years...cheese or no !
this year, so far, i'm very heavily leaning towards taylor hicks (?), the grey haired 29 yr old...if joe cocker and michael mcdonald had a test tube baby with..i don't know, janis ian...it'd be him...he does get into the music!
so far, mandisa is a close second, for me.
both have astounding voices and great personalities !
that little geeky kid should've got the boot last week, instead of the young black kid...man, he could sing...was just waiting for him to really get into it...coulda easily been a al green type, just needed to loosen up.
which raises a thought...does anyone else notice that when the booted-off contestant sings, they always seem much more passionate than the night before, when they were wooden and sucked...or is it just me ?
