So close, and yet so far

I know the title is not grammatically correct, but since I am a nerd and not a grammar teacher, I can get away with it.

Well, I thought for sure that I would be correct in my assessment of the top three American Idol finalists. Apparently, my arrogance, once again, has gotten the better of me. I was almost certain that Lakisha would make it to the top three. In fact, I knew she would. But in recent weeks her performances have gotten considerably worse. I don’t think Blake was better than Lakisha at any point in the competition, but I can see America’s position on the vote for last night.

Anyway, Lakisha is still one of my favorites, ranking up there with Ruben Studdard, Latoya London, Jennifer Hudson, Bo Bice and Chris Daughtry. Regardless of their final positions in the competition, I think that each of these performers were well deserving of any contracts and accolades they may have acquired because of their performances on the show. I think Lakisha can easily fit into this group.

My hats of to you all.
