Acceptance

I don't know why on earth it has taken me so long to post this. I guess once in a while you have to look at things from a diffrent perspective, at a new angle, and then try to write it in that way.

I felt that I left alot of things unsaid in my last post. And maybe thats why I couldn't find a way to write this one. Stuff like this is hard to put into words. You think you know someone, and then you think that you know nothing about them.

That next day after I heard all of this stuff, I spent all day in a daze. And I spent alot of time debating whether I should talk to this person or not. And even a part of me thought that I freaked out so much that they wouldn't even try to talk to me. Eventually I got the nerve to talk to them, and I just let everything loose. I felt so much better for it too.

Their situation has gotten more complicated over the past couple of days. But I have been able to stand by them like nothing has happened, but this is all still linging over my head. I have accepted what they have done, but I just hope they can move on from it...

Now on to more interesting things. Poor Lacey Brown got eliminated this week on American Idol. To be honest, I think everyone was up for elimination this week. They were all so unfamiliar with having to choose a song that they possibly knew nothing about. A few were able to steal the night, but only a few. And unfortunately, Lacey was not one of them.

And now on to the news for today. Today could be the making of history with President Obama's Health Care reform bill. This one could really go either way, and protests will begin despite the outcome. Democrats say that they have all the votes that they need. But will they? I'll make sure you find out in my next post.

Until then, have lots of fun and I'll see you later!

Top Twelve

First of all, I wanted to say how much of a pleasure to see that one of the Edens Edge band members, Hannah, had read my last post! They are all such great singers, so it was so much fun to be able to meet them, and then get their name out through this blog. Good luck you guys.

Now, I haven't been able to do an American Idol post in some time, so what better time than this. Last time we talked about this, we were in the first week of live performances, and Tim Urban was on the edge of getting elimiated. Well since you have last read, he made it through, following good performances with the songs 'Come on Get Higher' and 'Hallelujah', which made the judges proud.

Last week was really the moment to shine and determined if they would make it through to the top twelve. Here are some highlights:

Mike did a stunning perfomance with his song the led Kara to tears. While Ellen gave Tim a big hug for his good song choice. And Aaron Kelly continued to gain fame with his young, solid voice.

But four didn't make it this week. Two of them were shockers, others not so much.

Lilly Scott was a shocker. Alot of people liked her unique voice, including myself. She was one that was a huge shocker.

Katelyn Epperly was also one who left the stage. I think that the only thing that would have saved her was the song that she perfomed two weeks ago. But her last performance was not one that really stuck with the audience, causing her to be eliminated.

Don't get me wrong, Todrick Hall is a good singer and a good performer. But to the truth of the matter is, he changed a song to the point where is was unrecognizable, and continued to do it week after week. You want to hear a song that you can relate to and he just didn't seem to realize that.

And Alex Lambert. Poor guy. He was a good singer that I was shocked to see go. And but to truthful, he was just the weakest link of the 7 guys. I felt bad for him though when he started crying on stage. But don't fel bad Alex, someone will notice you and get you signed up to a label real soon.

Well I guess I'll give you the names of the top twelve. They are DiDi Benami, Siobhan Magnus, Paige Miles, Katie Stevens, Lacey Brown and Crystal Bowersox, Aaron Kelly, Michael Lynche, Casey James, Lee Dewyze, Andrew Garcia and Tim Urban.

Well I guess that is my post for today. Stay tuned for more tomorrow!!
