Idol Night ...

I Just finished watching American Idol and I'm glad the person I thought who deserved to get kicked out was voted out ... woohoo ... I actually started watching American Idol pretty late in life. I'm not the kind who really watches TV all that much and the first 2 seasons went by before I actually caught a couple of episodes of it. It didn't really catch on with me immediately but over time I got hooked on the show. And now, I can't miss any episode.

My most favorite of all the contestants since I've been watching the series is Bo Bice. I absolutely rooted for that guy to win but as fate would have it, he didn't. I remember I was at work on the day of the finals. We get the show a little later here after it's aired live in the US and my colleague was surfing the net for results and when she told me Bo lost, I was devastated that I didn't even bother catching the finals on TV here. Darn, I wish we could vote cos I sure would have voted for him.

I don't think anyone else has really captured my attention until this season where I'm putting my money on David Cook. I think that guy has talent and will go far. But like Simon said yesterday:

'If this was a talent competition instead of a popularity contest, you'd be winner' (or something along those lines)

And I do have to agree with him 100%. And I'm being realistic with my predictions when I say that even though David Cook has got immense talent, he won't make the finals based on popularity. Oh well, we will just have to see how it goes. And if anyone of you, my wonderful US friends, would like to do me a favour, then please go out there and vote David Cook for me, k? LOL!

Oh and before I sign out, I wrote in my other blog Anything Goes! that I was curious about how much a Rolex watch actually cost and when I found out the price my eyeballs nearly popped out cos they cost as much as a small car here, well, today I found out that a Patek Calatrava cost as much a nice apartment here with some of them going for around close to RM70,000 and above! My goodness me, that much money for a watch! Siggghhhh, why wasn't I born a billionaire ...
