American Idol: Hey, did you know Carrie won?
Wow, okay, you guys are going to kill me, but I totally forgot about last night's American Idol conclusion. I woke up this morning and wondered vaguely aloud to myself, "wait a sec...what did I forget to do last night?" And sure enough, it's right on the front page of the news: "Carrie Underwood Wins 'Idol' Contest." Wow. So, yeah, I so did not see this coming. I mean, we had a 50-50 chance of guessing it correctly, right? So I'm not exactly to blame...really. Not me.Anyhoo, Yahoo! News reports that Cindy Monteleone of Chicago thinks Carrie has a star quality Bo Bice doesn't. And they point out that she's a "polite, quiet, small-town girl who is dedicated to music." Which is cool, but come on, she's no Ashlee Simpson—she'll never sing about having sex on the kitchen floor. She'll sing a few top-the-chart pop songs, sell her first album to the millions of American Idol fans, and then what? Will celebrity change her? Will she lose that "small-town girl" quality, try to rock it, or stick to country? I'm running 12 to 1 odds on this one, folks, so put your two cents in before the betting booth closes.
