I admit, it has been a habit for our family to watch this year. It is a bitter pill to swallow, specially when the prior seasons never really compelled us to watch the reality competition-we actually watch as far as the bad auditions (it's always funny how many weirdos attempt). I didn't get on the AI bandwagon by mistake, I've got Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis to thank for our AI Season 7 addiction. Their face-off was what I got to watch and found myself enjoying it.

This year, according to the obnoxiously 'sexy' (?) Simon Cowell, has the most startling and talented bunch ever- okay, not his words but to that effect =). Truth be told, every week is a good showdown where anything can happen. Considering the blogs about this reality show, a lot has been said about make or break song choices and interpretation. Perfect example is Ramielle M. having to go instead of country chick (forgot her name) and the latest upset Michael Johns. In my book, they were better than Syesha and country chick…it's just their choice in song and interpretation (for Ramielle it was the clothes too).

Anyway as we reach the end of the season, I wonder if the others will pull a Yamin or a Daughtry? I know we at home will be upset if any of them will not make use of the AI exposure to make it big in Billboard-think Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Eric Yamin. Sue me if AI don't send chills up your spine, I'm hooked! What could I do?!
