American Idol - The Ladies

American Idol is one of the few television shows that I will rearrange
my schedule (to some extent) to watch. Last night's show was the first
that showed this years 12 female finalists. In a nutshell - the ladies
blew the doors off of the men. The difference in talent was evident
from the first lady that took the stage to the final singer. I think
that it might not be to early to say that a woman will be the next
American Idol.

The last singer, Lakisha Jones, the mother of the
four year old, was fantastic. When she got to the end of the song there
was a slight pause. During this slight pause the audience wasabsolutely
quiet. She had their attention unlike any other singer. She got my vote
- after the phone lines started working. It seemed like they had a
technical problem.

My other favorites include: 17 year old Jordin Sparks, Leslie Hunt, Melinda Doolittle, and Sabrina Sloan.

Who leaves tonight? Alaina Alexander and Antonella Barba.
