Tonight’s the big night. We start with the American Idol craziness again. I’m not extremely excited but I’ll be watching for sure. This American Idol site listed out the contestants and you get to hear some of them. What I noticed: half these people are already semi-professional. I always liked the fact that American Idol took people like Carrie Underwood from nowhere and made her a superstar. A lot of these people already have records and bands and I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem American Idol-ish. I know people like Blake Lewis were the same in the past but I guess going into knowing some of these people have a head start puts a downer on it.
As for the talent, not all of them had samples of their music but two that stood out to me were Cardin Lee McKinney and Michael Sanfilippo. No clue who they are but when I went on their myspace, I actually wanted to stay and listen and they have a good look and style about them.
