C and I have discovered that we can skip the hour long build up and find out who was eliminated from American Idol by looking online. The best part is we can check at 10:00 P.M. Eastern time, 7:00 for us. Added bonus, no commercial interruptions, and since the boys really don't get to watch T.V. except for a little bit of American Idol, and some Olympics last month, this arrangement really works out.
Last night C and I were checking online to see who was eliminated from American Idol when C asserted, "Mama, I bet you could at least make it to Hollywood on American Idol." I laughed, "Oh, I don't think so." If you haven't heard me sing, you are fortunate. While I do enjoy both singing and dancing, I realize (unlike so many would be American Idol contestants) that it just isn't my thing. But C insisted, "You could, right K?" K who must also share C's finely tuned musical ear was eager to agree. So, I told C I was happy that two boys in the country would put me through to Hollywood. C was not ready to relent, and looked to Johan to swell the numbers of my fan club, "Papa, don't you think Mama could make it to Hollywood." Johan, who had been listening to the conversation with an amused smirk answered, "I would vote for Mama." The hint of sarcasm was not overlooked by C, but he really was truly appalled that I am not an American Idol.
I believe C hatched his American Idol dreams for me on Tuesday night. One of the contestants (Johan's favorite) on American Idol sang a Janis Joplin song that C has had the good fortune of hearing me sing on more than one occasion. He turned to me excitedly as Crystal began her second verse of "Bobby McGee," "Mama, you can sing this!"
And so it is that my fan club is at capacity, thank you C and K. I hope the club has the same membership when C is 16 and K is 14, with perhaps the addition of a little girl...A (?), who will be 7.
