American Idol 2009

American Idol has a reasonable fan following with me. English music, and the American dream and the American fakeness is all too alluring for me. There is a desi contestant too, and boy I think he can sing : Anoop Desai, I want to see your brown skin go through to the top 24 atleast and take it from there.
I did hear some good voices this year, but the years that caught my ears the most were in 2008 and 2006. I didn't like the year 2007 where Jordin Sparks came up trumps, I didn't see any really good voices. Not a lot of folks remember the also-rans from earlier rans as they did from 2006 and 2008, and it was painful to see some of them get kicked out.
Here's to Anoop Dogg, and to see some real competitors emerge from the 9th season.
