therealljidolI was thinking this morning about how, given that it's a Final 3 and there are 4 contestants available, with two of them being guys, that we are guaranteed to have our second male contestant in the finals, and one of them at very least tying the best performance by a male during an Idol season ever!
Up until now - the winners have fit a pretty clear profile - white, female Americans. Most people know this. What might not be completely on your radar though is that there has also been a "kids pattern" - no, yes, no, yes, no, yes.
Which means regardless of what happens in the finals one of these "Idol Truths" is about to be broken.
A guy could win. A damn foreigner could win. Or, maybe someone with kids will break that pattern.
http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/479084.html is where the entries will go that will help determine what is going to happen next, and who those 3 contestants are going to be!!
Or, as I like to say, one of these four is one step away from having a really good excuse why they won't sign up next season! :P

She is a great champion though :) And I know she's been slightly tempted into competing next season!

Date: 2011-07-07 07:31 pm (UTC)I agree that time management and making something a priority is a big part of doing well in Idol.
So you think that the person who wins is almost MORE likely to be someone in a relationship and/or someone who does also have kid(s)? Hm...
Idol is kind of like college. You can be smart as anything and flunk out. You still need to make it to tests on time, complete papers on time, do papers in the right format and turn them in on time, etc.

Date: 2011-07-07 07:47 pm (UTC)I think a lot about ...what is most important? What is most important to look for in a partner (ie, what will I tell my kids when they grow up)? And I think good time management skills are one of the most important things in the world, really. That's the only way to ever achieve most dreams.

Date: 2011-07-07 07:58 pm (UTC)Off the top of my head I know two would have definitely been more than annoyed. The others I'm not so sure about.

Date: 2011-07-07 07:58 pm (UTC)Excellent point. I remember one of the last weeks of last season, I thought I was going to cry and just not make the deadline, but my SO managed to give me a reality check and remind me I could do it.

Date: 2011-07-07 08:05 pm (UTC)But James didn't care as long as I left him alone. He really had little desire to even talk to me, much less do stuff. So that's why I joined Idol...so he could do his thing, I could do something instead of sit at home...so he was happy that I was too busy to bug him to do things like you know, watch a movie with me or leave the house for once. But when he wanted to do something like go out of town, he would throw a tantrum and beg me to just give up on Idol already so we could live life. Or even worse, when he wanted me to clean the pool we managed, he wanted me to do it right then and there even as the deadline was an hour or so away and I could do it afterward.
But none of that surprises me. He always wanted precisely what he wanted when he wanted it.

Date: 2011-07-07 08:32 pm (UTC)Howdy Folks! I'm very interested to see if and how those Idol "truisms" will be broken, that's for sure. As far as I can see, there is only one person that fits the past winner's profile! Should be a very interesting finish, that's for sure...
Slogging through another workday here... dreaming of winning the lottery and never having to come here again. *le sigh*
And I'd meant to post my goodbye entry last night but got into a bit of a squabble with LJ... so anyway... if anybody is interested, here's my goodbye... (http://java-fiend.livejournal.com/383605.html) *sniffle sniffle sniffle*
Hope everybody's have a great Friday Eve! I think the lovely
