Rather foolishly stayed up late last night to watch our recording of the American Idol results show for this week. And this after a very, very long day arranging and attending events at work. To be honest we're only now picking up interest in this season of Idol, and on my part that's based on the vocal stylings of Elise who is far and away the classiest thing on the show. She killed on Whole Lotta Love - something I never thought I would write of any contestant in the competition.
In fact, it's interesting to see the extent to which the nature of the programme has changed. Elise herself, for those of us in the know, already had a considerable reputation as a vocalist at the proggy end of things, for example. She's on Idol as a kind of oblique career-move, I reckon, and more power to her elbow. It's nice to see people of real talent exploiting the exploitative side of the goggle-box in this manner.
