Yes, I stopped blogging when Sanjaya left. I continued watching, of course- and although I was gunning for Blake until the very last moment, the truth was that this was my favourite American Idol Final Two ever- and I’m a big Jordin fan as well!

So, anyway, I’m sorry for the lack of Idol posts… I’ve been reading most of them over at Rickey, and I highly recommend you visit his archives for all the Idol yumminess that exists over there. In the meantime, I’m going to start blogging more general entertainment and celebrity things- at least until American Idol 7 starts up!

Although I’ve never been a die-hard Sanjaya fan, I did like the fact he was on the show, and his voice. The boy can sing. But perhaps most of all, I liked his personality. He was always smiling, never cocky, obviously sensitive, and good natured. Someone I wouldn’t mind my (future) daughter to bring home as a prom date.

Which is why I’m sad he’s no longer on American Idol.

Okay, so I was ticked off that my guy Chris Sligh was sent home. Then Gina went home last week, and I was even more upset. No more girl rocker!

But, you see, I’m back blogging. Tonight, American Idol’s “Latino Night”, was fun for me. Highlights included:

Melinda throwing it right back at Simon: “I’m happy because I think he really wanted to say something bad and I’m glad he had the chance.” You go, girl! And…
Blake just owning the evening with a sexy rendition of “I Need to Know”, a song I didn’t know- but, apparently, needed to. I’m all about Blake now. Blake! Blake! Blake!

Sanjaya doing quite well with “Besame Mucho”, one of the greatest songs of all time. Yes, I said Sanjaya! Please give the guy a break. He can sing.

Chris did not deserve to go home tonight. So maybe he’s been underperforming a little bit, but this guy had an amazing voice. It gave me chills. And I really didn’t think Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic was so bad.

But American Idol has completely become a popularity contest… and Chris didn’t show enough “personality” to get people voting. Aarrgh.

IdolGirl is upset.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
