Healthy Cheap Food

It was so sad to see Brooke White leave American Idol last week. It just wasn’t the same now that she is gone My kids just weren’t as interested in it as they were before. They even asked where Jolene was.

Last night’s American Idol was one of the most uninteresting idols I have seen in awhile. David Archuleta sang great as always and I think it might have been his best night ever. David Cook seemed to be imitating and not doing a very good job of it. Syesha Mercado seemed to decide to change from nice girl to Beyonce wannabe and I think her performances suffered. David Castro? What can I say. I think said it the best.

It looks like my kids favorite singer, Brooke”Jolene” White, will be on idol for another week. I thought for sure she would be eliminated and I was busy punching away the numbers on the phone and text messages.

I was sad to see Carly Smithson go. She was a good singer and she did a good job the other night on American Idol. I don’t she should have been the one to go, I was hoping Jason Castro left. I am getting tired of his singing and his mannerisms.

Brooke is genuine, she isn’t flashy and she sings her heart out. She is an inspiration to us. And for my sons, she is there Jolene….

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with health, food, business, or frugal living, but did anyone else see Mariah Carey on American Idol last night? I think that had to be the first time I ever heard her say anything. More often than not, I will see her smile or sign, but never speak. I think I know why.

I don’t know if it was the lights, the situation, or just an act, but after hearing her talk and not really respond to the questions by Ryan Seacrest, it sure seems like Mariah Carey should not speak in public. Frankly, she came across as either like someone on drugs or someone who seemed a bit crazy. I know that can’t be the case, but it really made me think if at any time I heard her say something coherent, but I can’t think of anything….

My sons just love watching American Idol every week. Back when American Idol had its Dolly Parton week, my boys just loved watching Brooke perform “Jolene.” For some reason they just love the song.

Now every time they watch American Idol they scream for Jolene. They’ll say Jolene every time they see Brooke. If she sings a different song, they will say, I want Jolene, Jolene! I am trying to figure out why they love it so much. I’ll bet you can’t guess who we are voting for in American Idol every week. Yep, I hope she takes it all.
