Anyone following American Idol?

Down to top 12 and frankly...I think they are all excellent! Women don't hold advantage over guys this year...really hard to sort out at this point...Brian, you watching?

My daughter likes the Australian guy and the young guy (16 year old?). I've heard some of them but can't put a face or name to them. There was a girl who sounded like Tina Turner last week that I thought was good.

David Archuleta (sp?)...he's 17 but looks about 14...fantastic voice, he's the clear favorite so far but long way to go! His version of John Lenon's Imagine brought tears to Paula's eyes...one of the best performances in the history of Idol but he seems to be playing it a bit safe. Women...really they are all good, hard to pick one.

Paula seems to be "rambling" alot more this year.

And Simon's even harsher than usual...but I almost always agree with him!

There was a guy I saw a couple of weeks ago (from Texas, had dreadlocks). He played guitar when he sang. I thought he was pretty good. Is he still on (if you know which one I mean)?
