American Idols go home
The three remaining American Idol contestants went back to their roots Friday, to rabid crowds of hometown fans.
Melinda Doolittle spent time in Tennessee, even honored by the governor while she sang to her fans. Blake Lewis went back to Seattle, Washington, giving a free concert to screaming fans in Westgate Park. The crowd was filled with teenage girls skipping class to get a chance to see their Idol in person. Jordin Sparks returned home to Glendale, Arizona, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that people actually live in Glendale, Arizona. What amazes me is how publicity stunts like this get covered by the media. I suppose I am also to blame for picking up the story, but it really is odd how these three get touted around town as gods when really their just has-beens to be. I guess there’s no accounting for taste.
