Another musical icon has died. The great singing talent, Donna Summer passed away today at the age of 63 years after a battle with lung cancer, a disease she reportedly contracted after inhaling fumes from the horrific 9/11 attack.

It takes a lot of star power to transfix me to a YouTube video of a Top 7 American Idol performer, especially just 2.5 hours before the airing of the Top 7 American Idol Performance Show.

Yikes! I am glad I was on vacation and missed this airing of The Voice’s Battle Rounds. This was painful times a zillion to watch and listen.

I have to admit – I just don’t get it! I truly don’t. The fact that David Cook has eluded superstardom leaves me completely and utterly baffled.
