As some of you may have gathered, I currently think Constantine is the finalist most likely to become the next American Idol. I confess that while I hadn't thought much of him at the start of the semifinals, or even the finals, he's been growing on me in the weeks since then. I've felt that the boy's got moxie, and that he does better when he's not trying to be a rocker.
With that said, Annie -- y'all who were here last year probably remember Annie; she's been watching the episodes on tape this year due to a crazy-busy schedule, but she's otherwise alive and well -- made a wonderfully trenchant observation the other day. And I quote:
Constantine deserves to win American Idol because he's precisely the sort of multi-media famewhore hack that AI has always wanted but never quite managed to get.I know the Ring of Truth™ when I hear it. Posted by Shmuel at April 24, 2005 4:20 PM
