Ace Young Showing Class

Okay, I can finally talk about it without name-calling, threats, curses, and ranting. Well, I’ll try.

American Idol has all the makings of being the greatest modern show ever - right there with Survivor. If the show would just quit manipulationg the votes! It happens every year - they get the one or two contestants that they want to go further than the rest, then they showcase and prop them - even when there are obviously FAR, FAR better singers in the group.

I would think the show would want the best of the best to represent them. Once again, they let one get away. The judges never really gave Ace Young a fair shot. They did him pretty much the way they did Constantine. Which is outrageous because both guys are loaded with charisma and talent. In the end, I think they’ll both be huge - who knows, maybe even bigger than they would’ve been had they won. Hopin’ so.

Just a few thoughts:

I hated the little gratuitous, swarmy routine Taylor put on when Ryan told him to pick a side. I think he’s a ridiculous ham and I’m way sick of him.

Katharine and Kelly, IMO, should have contained their glee. They acted like school girls when their group was announced as the safe one. Maybe it was as big a shock to them as it was to everyone else, but they should’ve acted a little more mature and classy. The way they giddily walked by the other 3 smiling ear to ear and patting on them without a hint of sincerity makes me really, really hope that Paris and Chris are the final 2. I think they’re the best of the six anyway. Katharine has a great voice, but IMO, she doesn’t have the spark that Paris has.

I usuually love Kelly’s personality and spirit, but this is a singing competition and this girl misses more notes than she hits. She’s fun and adorable - no one can deny that. But if there were a World Idol and she represented our country - as the best of our best. Oy. Of course it could be worse, we could be represented by the ham. Shivers.

For a great, great read on Ace - Mr. Class - see the interview posted on VH1. Click HERE to do so! He would’ve represented us amazingly.

Ace will be on Ellen and Regis With Kelly Monday. Be sure to check him all the way out.

My Bucky’s gone, My Mandisa’s gone, My Brenna’s long gone, My Rebecca’s long gone…..and now my Ace is gone. HANG TOUGH, CHRIS!!!!!!!!
