American Idol, Paula Abdul and St. Patty's Too!

Well after watching the 12 finalists last night on the biggest show in America, I'm completely convinced that the next American Idol is Melinda Doolittle or Lakisha Jones. These two just hover miles above the other contestants. Finally Simon agreed with me and said so on the show. In fact, Associated Press reporter Verne Gay said yesterday, "What happens if neither Lakisha or Melinda win American Idol? Then the whole Idol competition will become a travesty......."Here you have two fantastic front-runners and everyone else. Paula, he says, "knows it. Randy knows it. Simon certainly knows it. Everyone else knows it. And you know it. Which means we may as well declare the sixth season over and done with right now. Except that there are 11 more weeks to go and anything could happen."
Well stated. And I agree.

If you're not into March Madness basketball this Friday night then grab the remote from your husband or wife and switch over to QVC. Paula Abdul will be on at 6am and 10pm. She'll present new styles from the Paula Abdul Jewelry collection. The pieces range in price from $20 bucks up to $90 bucks. Items up for grabs include, charms, pendants, earrings, bracelets and Simon Cowell's used Coca-Cola cup(okay so I made that last one up)
After the 10pm show ends, you'll be able to ask Paula questions during an online chat at QVC.com
I wanna call in and sing to her....."Straight up now tell me if Melinda's gonna win or are we just caught up in a hit and run!!"
For those of you not old enough to remember, I appropiated some of the previous lyrics from Paula's big time 80's dance hit, "Straight Up, " An awesome tune with the windows rolled down on an I-85 cruise circa 1989. Gosh I'm old!!!
Have a great St. Patrick's weekend!! I'm going to Harris Teeter to get some corned beef and cabbage.
Don't forget the Raleigh St. Patty's Day parade.....it's Saturday March 17 at high noon. It starts at the corner of Cabarrus and Wilmington streets downtown. TV 5's Debra Morgan is the Grand Marshall.
Here's wishing ye the luck 'o the Irish!!!
