Thank goodness that my Idol faves: Lee, Casey, & Crystal are safe for another week!  I was a BIT worried for Casey tonight.  Andrew & Katie are out, but that’s NOT a big shock.  Andrew didn’t do well for the past 3 wks. and Katie didn’t define herself as an artist (though she performed country, pop, & R&B).  I’m glad that Big Mike is safe, b/c I see now that he’s got a LOT of potential.  He’s just a natural performer, and you CAN’T teach that!  Speaking of natural performers… 

It was GREAT to see Adam on the Idol stage once more this week.  Adam is just a  combo of confidence, quirkiness, natural singing ability, intelligence and (surprisingly) humbleness.  He is thankful for his Idol experience.  All the best to ya, Adam!
