American Idol update. . . . . !

Hi Jennifer & Friends! Michael Castro, Jason's brother, made his debut last night on 'Idol' and for some reason he got a ticket to Hollywood. He was average at best and looks like a complete punker. Purple and orange hair with a punk rock outfit. I didn't see or hear it but he won't last long. He and his brother just don't care enough to have anyone care if they make it. He told the judges that he just started signing three weeks ago. Yeah right!

Ashley Anderson did a good job last night and she is gorgeous. I think her star quality is far better then most on the show.

My vote for Kara as a good addition to the show is improving. I think she adds a certain quality to the show and will help Paula fend off Simon.

The sob story for the evening was from Danny, a 28 year old music teacher. For him coming to the audition was nothing short of an emotional sacrifice. His wife had died of a heart condition recently and he said he was close to not trying out because the emotions were so intense. He sang I heard It Through the Grapevine. He was very soulful with good rhythm. Randy Jackson said he is the best he has seen! He was off to Hollywood and when he went outside the door he held up his ticket and said, “Sophia this one is for you.”

That's all for now. I have to go to work.
