I love American Idol. I usually write down all my favorites throughout the auditions, and a couple of them make it pretty far (Taylor Hicks was the first one that I was dead on with - I love Taylor Hicks!)
Last night I totally feel in love with Josiah Leming. He was the last one to audition, and he is an 18 year old living in his car. He is flippin’ adorable and I loved his voice: British accent and all. I think he will probably get cut not too far down the line, but I sure liked him.
Another one of my favorites is Brooke White (and no, it’s not because she is LDS - although I love that she is). That whole: “I’ve never seen an rated ‘R’ movie” thing was pretty lame. It was as if she really wanted us all to know that she was Mormon. But she has a great voice.
I also really liked Amanda Overmyer; the nurse slash rocker (and not the other way around). She reminds me of Taylor Hicks.
