what a day for a daydream

i would like to make my American Idol predictions now.  i wasn't able to watch the hollywood auditions (ahem, forgot to record them), but they do show clips now and then.  anyway, i've just finised watching the men perform, and these are the top three:  david archuleta, jason castro, and michael johns.  i don't know who will win, and even if none of them win, i still think they'll be the ones that are glad they don't win, but will enjoy the benefits of auditioning.  like chris daughtry, whom, as i like to point out, i predicted from the first audition.  i also predicted reuben from the beginning; and sure, he's lost his contract now, but the correctness of my prediction stands.  i also chose melinda from the beginning, and she got pretty far (top 3, if i remember).

i think this season might be pretty good.  i hope the cheesy ones get voted out soon.  there's a great indie spirit going on this time around, i think, so i'm looking forward to that bit.  i don't live and die and fan-girl for american idol, but i do like to keep my finger on its pulse so i can tell everyone what i think and then gloat later about how right i was all along.  ;o)

i'll watch the girls later, and then post my predictions.  i won't make this a regular thing, i'm just making my predictions as early as possible, and documenting them for proof.  so far, simon and i have been saying the same things.  (yes, i do critique the performers aloud, even though i am in my house by myself.  i also cheer and give standing ovations when appropriate.)
