American Idol - Life Changing Moment - Clay Aiken

As some of you may (or may not know), I did not start watching American Idol until Season 2. I initially tuned in because it was on right before my FAVORITE show at that time, "24". This first performance was shot during the "Wild Card" show, which was also, my first show. Clay Aiken did not make it through to the Top 12 in his original round due to the bad luck of being in a group including Ruben Studdard and Kimberley Locke. But, he took the judges advice, cleaned up his "image" and came back with a performance that IMHO was a life changing moment. Ironically, Clay, Ruben and Kimberley went on to become the final three that season! Take a look:



What do you think? We are returning to a similar format this year, for the first time since season 2. Will the Top 3 of season 8 all come from the same group?

Kimberley Locke to Look Fierce!

This weeks People magazine is doing a spread on Christian Siriano, Winner of Project Runway!

In the article Christian is reporting that he has aready designed a dress for Victoria (Posh) Beckham AND for American Idol alum Kimberley Locke.

The article also reports that Kimberley will be performing her new single "Fall" on next Wednesday's Results show.

Will she be wearing Christian's dress? I would have to think so, otherwise why mention her appearance in an article about Christian? Secondly, is "next Wednesday" this Wednesday? We should find out tonight!

I LOVE it when my two worlds collide!
