I Voted (But Not for Corrupt Politicians)

May 23, 2007

I've never beeen a die-hard American Idol fan, but tonight, for the first time, I called in my vote — two votes actually, one from me and one from the husband (I "borrowed" his cellphone).  

I was already here from Season 3 to present.  I didn't vote during the Diana De Garmo/Fantasia Barrino face-off because I didn't care which one won.  I didn't love or hate either of them enough to spend time, money and energy to vote.  For Season 4, I loved Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice equally, so I felt I should be fair and not cast my vote.  With the Soul Patrol fever catching the nation, I knew Katherine McPhee didn't stand a chance against Taylor Hicks in Season 5.  Besides, I wanted anyone to win, anyone except Taylor Hicks.  That was hardly a great reason to vote for Katherine, although I still think she's gorgeous and that she'd sell more albums than Taylor ever would.

Tonight, I was ready to do a Carrie/Bo neutral stance.  But Jordin's voice, her dazzling smile, and her young and vibrant presence on stage had me make a mad scramble for my cellphone to vote for her.  I find her to be such a beautiful young woman, so much so that when I ran across a blog that described her size as "gigantic," I felt a vein throb in anger.

I was gonna go meet with a couple of friends tonight, but I'm glad I stayed in and watched the finals.  I am ready to applaud when they announce Jordin Sparks as the new American Idol tomorrow night.  And if not, well, those two votes are still well worth it.

would-be lawyer turned homemaker. (day)dreamer. cloud watcher. moon lover. hankers for a life that's bursting at the seams with books and wine and art. believes she can only get better with age -- and swears by it on her three-inch heels.
