The Results Are In!!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!

"...Ladies and gentlemen, after nationwide polling, the results are in!  Your next American Idol is….”  Of course I’m talking about American Idol and the big winner this year, Phillip Phillips!  I love the idea of American Idol.  I love the idea that anyone from anywhere in the United States can become a singing star.  I love to sing and I admit it….my super secret dream is to be on American Idol someday.

Krumbs loves to watch Idol too, but he watches it a little differently than I do.  See, when Krumbs likes a singer…he HOWLS along with them.  I’m sure I don’t even have to tell you how crazy that makes my parents (not to mention the neighbors).  Usually we give Krumbs lots of reminders to keep quiet but when the results were announced this week, we were all hooting and hollering—it was fantastic!!

Since the results were announced, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about professional singers.  I figure if winning American Idol doesn’t pan out for me, I’ll need a back-up plan.  Krumbs and I checked out Job-a-Palooza on the Café and we found a profile by Karen Leet about “Singer/Songwriters”.  I didn’t know there are so many different options for singers—wedding singers, children’s birthday parties, record contracts, nightclubs.  Cool stuff!  I also had to check out the profile of KellyClarkson again.  She is one of the biggest American Idol successes and it’s nice to know she started out as just a regular kid.  Regular kids can do great things…maybe Idol is in my future after all!

Have a great weekend and check back soon!
