American Idol and Other TV Obsessions

It has been a while since I blogged - I blame it on the travel, visitors and overall exhaustion! All good things though! So, I have to talk about my new obsession with various TV shows - some of which I swore I would never watch...I guess never say never!

So first up, American Idol. I always felt proud that I never got into this show...not once did I watch it...although I am big fans of Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson....awesome voices - I own their CD's. But I refused to watch it....Until this year...until I got Tivo...and I can fastforward through the boring parts....so, I just have to give my view on the current season:

My favorite: Hands down - David Cook...he rocks! His version of Billie Jean had me at Hello!
Who I don't like: Brooke White - there is nothing good about her!!! she is SOOOOO annoying....WHY is she still on this show?
Who I think is awesome but not living up to her potential: Carly - she is amazing...but she tends to oversing her songs...and sometimes not pick the best song....I would love to see her go far, she just needs to chill a bit, go with the flow and enjoy her songs.
I was super annoyed with the guy with the dreads, but then he sang one of my favorite songs - Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Brother IZ - and I became somewhat of a fan!
David Archelleto...he is fine, but I hope he does not win.
And the country girl is cute...but does not get that into her songs...so she is lacking a bit.
And honestly, I tend to agree with what Simon says...does that make me bad? I think he is actually quite funny!
So, I will be watching until the very end! With my fingers crossed for David Cook...I really dont think there is anyone that can come close to him!

Onto my next obsession: How I Met Your Mother! I think this is just a cute, funny, warm and fuzzy show...And I am dying to see who the mother is. I LOVED the episode with the girl from Scrubs...the chemistry was right on...but who knows.

And of course, Bones....I dont know why more people do not watch this show...It has everything mystery, intrigue, intelligence, romance, fun characters....keeps me intrigued....I am so excited there are new episodes coming out this week!

I was very happy to watch Idol Gives Back last night - two of the idols were wearing Inspi(RED) shirts...very inspiring and motivating to go out and make a difference in this world!

Enjoy some TV today!
