I admit it, I am a fan of American Idol.
I loved the first season and was more than thrilled when Kelly Clarkson won.
Not only because she was a powerhouse.
It also had something to do with the fact that I couldn’t stand to look at Justin Guarini and his curly hair.
He irritated me.
Not to mention Tamyra Gray should have been by Kelly’s side during the finale.
Then during Season 2 I felt there were numerous contestants who were robbed.
Ruben Studdard did not deserve to win.
Even if he was the Velvet Teddy Bear.
It should have been Clay Aiken (based on talent) with Kimberly Locke as the runner-up.
Season 3 didn’t have anything to offer other than Simon insulting the AMAZINGNESS that is Jennifer Hudson.
She should have gone on to win the show.
Instead, we were left with Fantasia Barrino.
Granted, the girl can sing, but seriously…..JENNIFER HUDSON!
By Season 4, I was starting to lose interest.
I was sick of the oogggling over the male contestants by prepubescent girls.
But I was happy to see Carrie Underwood take the title.
America definitely got it right that year!
Then we were presented with Season 5.
Taylor Hicks.
Need I say more?
Other than Chris Daughtry—you were robbed!
Season 6 brought of the beat box styling of one Mr. Blake Lewis.
Dude had talent.
But if you ask me, LaKisha Jones should have been standing next to Jordin Sparks in the end.
And….I was never more happy than I was when Sanjaya Malakar got the boot!
Winner- Jordin Sparks.
When Season 7 auditions began airing, I picked the winner immediately.
This was the best season for me since the 1st.
After watching David Cook do Billie Jean, I was more than in love with him.
I was happy to see him win.
Season 8 made me tired.
This season I was rooting for Danny Gokey.
Adam Lambert drove me crazy with his incessant screaming.
Kris Allen was boring.
In the end, I was not pleased.
Which brings us to Season 9.
American Idol is getting boring.
This season more than any.
From the beginning we have been fans of Crystal Bowersox.
To us, she is the one we want to win.
But we also love Lee DeWyze.
I’d still prefer that Crystal win.
This is how I hope it turns out.
Either way they will both make it big.
Who do you want to win and what is your view on seasons past?? What is your favorite Idol performance over the years?
As a member of the Soft Scrub Club, I have the opportunity to review the latest and greatest products that Soft Scrub has to offer. I recently had the chance to give the new Soft Scrub Total Kitchen Cleaner a try and I have to admit, I am MIGHTY impressed.
For beginners, the Soft Scrub Total Kitchen cleaner smells absolutely amazing.
It can be used anywhere in the kitchen! I’m talking inside the microwave, on the stove top, counter tops, sinks and faucets and under the stove hood. It is also safe to use on granite, cultured marble, chromes, stainless steel, plastic laminate and tile!
Not to mention you can use it as a foam or spray.
and even use the bottle when it is completely upside down!
I have to say that I am all kinds of impressed with this product and it has replaced all the others I used to purchase mainly because it smells good but it also gets the job done!

Yes folks, I am going there.
Men and the courtesy flush.
If you are not aware of what the courtesy flush is than I assume you are a man.
Women, we know what a courtesy flush is.
And we utilize it.
For those who are not educated in this task, a courtesy flush is that extra flush you give after doing your business in order to remove any leftovers from the bowl or it can be utilized mid-task as defined by Urban Dictionary below
A flush in the middle of the toilet-sitting process in order to reduce the aroma…usually performed on a “foreign throne” as a courtesy to the owner of said throne… in other words, to be polite and not stink up the host’s crapper too much.
Many of you may ask what has led me to discussing this topic.
I will be honest with you,
it was a recent trip to my parents house in which my mother questioned my father’s abilities to utilize the courtesy flush.
In her own words, she “didn’t need to see that!”
I know I am not a fan of floaters or other remnants being left behind even when they are my own so really, why would I want to see someone elses?
It’s like walking into a public restroom and being ready to vomit because of the smell. Or throwing open the door to a stall only to find leftovers from the previous patron.
For women, we are known for perfecting the courtesy flush as a tool to lessen the embarrassment and to protect the theories that for women, 1. Our shit don’t stink and 2. We don’t poop….ever.
So, why is it so hard for a man to do his business and give us the same courtesy we give him.
In my home, the men have yet to use a courtesy flush but are currently in the process of being schooled on how to use the air freshener when they are done.
Once this task is mastered, I plan on giving a lesson on the courtesy flush.
(Because really, you can only teach a man one thing at a time.)
