Diana Ross night--two whole hours of Diana Ross songs. What a time. Anyone else wonder if they chose to have her as the first guest because of Jennifer Hudson's success in Dreamgirls? Melinda, Phil, LaKisha, Blake and Jordin were fantastic. I voted for all of them but especially for Melinda and Blake.
I remember as kid listening to Diana Ross and not understanding why people made such a big deal about her. I'm not sure if I get it now, although I can certainly appreciate her artistry. The Concert In New York where it rained is one of my strongest memories, I don't even remember when that was. Ah well, her songs were part of the soundtrack of my life growing up. And it's funny how I listened to MoTown through the late 80s and into the 90s. Other people discovered rap, I discovered that fantastic doo-woppy MoTown sound. Ahhh, now that's music.

I can't believe I forgot about American Idol!! I took the nephew to see "The Bridge to Tarabithia" tonight. I am sure Melinda and Lakisha were awesome. :-)
They both were awesome!! The guys were still not nearly as good although I think Phil was his best yet, he seemed to really connect with the audience (which I didn't think he'd done very well). And I think Blake is adorable.
My students really liked Jordin.
