Best Idol Yet

Awesome to hear some good rock on American Idol this season. Fills a bit of the void left by the first season of Rock Star INXS.

It’s only too bad the pop/loungish piano backup sucks.

That’s why it’s a good thing some of our favorites also can play…like the one vying for my vote…the super cute Josiah Leming, the kid who lives in his car and, though from Tennessee, has a distinct British accent when he sings.

I also like the biker nurse, Amanda Overmyer, from the Hoosier state. More on Hoosiers in the contest in this Muncie Star Press article.

Do they have what it takes to win this competition? I certainly hope not. None of the winners have been all that interesting to me. But I am already waiting for iTunes to pick up some of Leming’s original songs.
