American Idol has lost one of their judges.  As the show is swinging into it’s 9th season something will be missing.  No it will not be Simon Cowell and his obnoxious comments.  No it will not be the auditions where people chose to get up and sing their hearts out even though they have no talent.  It will be Paula Abdul.

On Tuesday Aug. 4, 2009 Paula Abdul said that she will no longer be a judge on the show.  I think that over the years Paula Abdul has grow tired of the gig.  After 8 seasons she is ready to head back out into the world and bring us mew and better things.  I remember loving her as a tween.  She was my Hanna Montana.  The music videos were great and her dancing was awesome.

Paula chose to leave in an odd way though.  She twittered about it!  I guess that it shows that twitter is gaining more and more popularity!  I wish the millions of people who follow Paula Abdul also followed me.  Perhaps all I need is a singing career, the ability to dance like a star and to be a judge on American Idol first!

Paula your fans cannot wit to see what is ahead for you!

Kris Allen Wins American Idol

Just a few hours ago the dreams of two young men hung in all of our hands.  American Idol was wrapping up this season with a bang!  With almost 100 MILLION votes cast it was announced that Kris Allen has taken away the new American Idol title.  That is not to say that  Adam Lambert will be left in the dust.  We all know that American Idol runners up have great success as well.  Either way Kris Allen is the one with the record deal and the “American Idol” title.  Allen was not the judges favorite but the American Idol fans picked up their phones, emailed and texted in their votes.

I think that Kris Allen winning sends a message to the American Idol people.  We as Americans are looking for a little different sound.  Kris Allen with his Folky music has found a place in America’s hearts!

All of the hype over the American Idol finale is making me more and more anxious for Susan Boyle to reappear this Saturday.  I know that million, maybe even more, will be waiting to hear how she makes out.   I am just anxious to hear her angelic voice yet again!

Either way dreams have come true tonight.  I often wonder what we are all attracted to in shows such as American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.  I think that, for me, it is the hope of my dreams coming true.  No matter how big or small these shows show us each and every day that dreams really can come true!

Congratulations Kris Allen!  Enjoy the ride!
