One thing about having the flu is that it allows me, in between sleeps, to saunter through YouTube videos to alleviate the boredom of doctor-imposed bed rest. This video of “We Made It Through The Rain, performed by American Idol Season 5 Top 12 Finalists on Entertainment Tonight, is a real gem. They look like […]

May 24, 2012 27 Comments
When I first saw Phillip Phillips perform his first audition, my initial reaction was that he could be the ONE! He had all the quirky, yet humble ingredients that served other male winners very well.

Oh darn! I wish I could say that I love this song, but I don’t. And, it has nothing to do with the singing talent. I mean between the late Whitney Houston and Jordin Sparks, there was more than enough vocal power with which to work. But, at the end of the day, the song […]
