i'm trying to remember which one she was... what did she sing?

i'm with you - it'd be nice if they'd let folks through who could sing regardless of how they looked... but you know when they say "American Idol material", that's what they mean - a young, attractive person who hopefully can sing a little. that's what pop music is all about, too, and that's why that type will always win when it comes to the call-in voting. incidentally, that's also why i lose interest significantly as the show progresses towards the final - most of the really interesting folks are weeded out by then.

speaking of age... how about that guy (from last week?) that tried to say he was 28 when he was in his 40s? i guess he figured he'd try to at least make himself fit that part of the AI mold.
