....I just gotta say, this Mormons-on-reality-shows thing is getting stale. It all boils down to:
"Dude, get the camera! I just spotted a babyfaced virgin who sings/dances/cooks/survives/eatscockroaches like a heathen!"
It's Britney, circa 1998. And we all know how that ended.
[Shudder.]

Your mother & I aren't shuddering! To the contrary, we really enjoyed watching "American Idol" last night, & criticizing Simon, Paula, & what's-his-name, & I criticized the singers for some of the types of songs they selected, & their weaknesses otherwise. Your niece enjoyed it also.
Is David Archuleta LDS?
I predict that the young woman will be eliminated tonight. But whether Mr. Cook or Mr. Archuleta will be #1, I won't speculate.
I don't really enjoy Archuleta's singing style, however.
Now, aren't you sorry you brought up this whole subject?
Yes, David Arhculeta is LDS.
I'm not saying these people are shudderous early on -- it's only *after* the cherub falls into the gutter with all the other celebrity guttersnipes (often ending up worse than the rest: bald in a seedy bar, forbidden to see his/her own children).
But at the beginning they are adorable! David is really cute, I have to admit, though I've only seen one episode's worth of his singing. I hope he doesn't turn into Britney, but he's got all the makings of a Britney disaster, including a pushy stage parent....
But he's so...shiny. And he still has a mission to go on, after all. Right? RIGHT? A MISSION WILL SAVE HIM! Two years' absence from the musical industry is career death.
Wynne -- He IS shiny and adorable and sweet and I just don't want to ever open the paper and see his black-eyed DUI mugshot. All America skips joyfully into the latest Disney movie, ready for pink, pink happiness but then unexpected fame wrings the heart of little Dumbo and I want my #%@!!?* money back.
I wonder if he will go on a mission? Talk about swooning droves of missionary-crush converts!
