| The sixth word of advice if you want to be the next idol – clarity, reminds me of John Mayer… one thing leads to another and I start thinking about – Ace Young. Now that this year’s auditions are “all said and done,” I see no one with that Ace appeal. But the producers did give us a flashback of the “manual labor moment” from last year’s 7th runner up, tonight. I have to tell you, Taylor Hicks may have been last year's idol winner -- but Ace was the dazzler on Season 5's AI Concert Tour. His first single, “Scattered” typifies the music that fits perfectly with what he has to offer. Owning what you got -- now that is what being an American Idol is all about. |
