I’ve never been much of a reality show fan. But after years of hearing about American Idol, I decided to watch it partway into this season. Since I pass Murray High School’s “Good Luck David Archuleta” sign every week, I was curious enough to tune in.

I’ve watched it regularly the past two or three weeks. It’s an interesting show—I enjoy seeing what the performers bring to each song. The judges’ comments are also interesting. I’m intrigued by the different things they discuss. One minute, they praise a performer for bringing his own style to a song. The next, they criticize a singer for not leaving an arrangement alone.

Tonight, they are down to the final three. I’m plugging for one of the David’s to win—I like them both, so I don’t care which, though perhaps I have a fondness for the local boy. I’m convinced they’ll both get recording contracts, however.

I’m not sure what’s in store tonight; it should be interesting to see what three songs each of the final three sing.
