Hear that buzzing? So do I. It's all the talk surrounding season five of Fox's very popular American Idol. It hasn't even started yet, and already people can't get enough of it. Each crowned Idol has been very different than the last. We have had a soulful Girl Next Door, an R&B teddy bear, an unwed mother with personality pouring out of her and a country bumpkin with the voice of an angel. Who's next?

Just about every place you surf with a hopping message board can give you a list of who the semi-final 24 will be, but I just can't bring myself to peek. I did that one time before Christmas, and I never will again. It ruined everything. There's no way I could chance doing that to my Idol experience.

There is one name I can't get away from, though. That of Ace Young. If Carrie Underwood was the It Girl last year, he's the It Guy this year. Not only is he rumored to have made final 24, his picture is plastered all over the internet. He's a seasoned performer like Constantine Maroulis and Bo Bice, yet he sings R&B, not rock.
