Chicken Little (a.k.a. Kevin Covais) was finally voted off of American Idol this week. Although I'm sure he's a sweet kid, he had worn out his welcome. This season, almost all of the Idol finalists can really sing so there's no need to let the less talented linger around too long out of sympathy. Hopefully Mandisa will keep up her stellar vocals because she is a true soul diva and my personal fave. I also really enjoy Taylor's performances and his refusal to dye his gray hair to please Hollywood. Just because you don't "look like a star" doesn't mean you aren't one. Usually I enjoy Chris Daughtery's alt rock vibe, but the fact that he didn't give credit where credit was due last week for his arrangement of "Walk the Line" didn't win him any bonus points with me.
In other earth shattering news, Memphis lost to UCLA last night so they are out of the NCAA Tournament. I'm sure everyone at work will be bummed tomorrow, but I choose to look at it in a positive way. Making it to the Elite Eight is something to be proud of, especially for such a young team. This is something to build on, not something to hang your head about. Way to go, Tigers! Congrats on an awesome season. :)
In case you haven't noticed-and judging by the attendance you haven't-Memphis Baseball is off to a great start. After winning only 13 games last year, they have already won 12 and it's only March 26. They even beat #14 Tulane on Friday night in a convincing 11-4 win. Could we win the rubber game this afternoon and take the series? Anything can happen in sports, which is why they're so great. Regardless of what happens today, I am really proud of my boys and hope they continue to play well.
