the buzz this week: will it be kelly or justin? i'll admit that i've gotten caught up with american idol...but of course, my biggest guilty pleasure is any sort of reality tv/competition. my vote: kelly. she just has such a rock star voice and has been the most consistent out of all the contestants so far. her performance last night completely blew justin away. justin was FLAT even! she definitely sang those original songs much better. what a controversy it would be if justin won though. overall, i think everyone knows that kelly has the more phenomenal voice..let's just hope. oh--and last night, they brought in the winner of the british version of this show (pop idol)--Will Young..and he performed..and eeks, he sucked. his voice was weak and the song he sang was just cheezy and weird. kelly rocks.
