American Idol 2011
Have not been following American Idol 2011 as closely as I did for previous years. Could be a function of life style changes. I did watch the Top 12 performances on the website and my favourite this year is Casey Abrams.

American Idol 2010
While my two favourites did make it to the final. The only song that stayed with me is “Leave Right Now” by Will Young (winner of 2002 Pop Idol). His song would play week after week when contestants are voted out and they show a video of their “journey”. He also performed at the finale which prompted me to buy the song from iTunes!
Its just my taste I guess. Or maybe, the live versions you hear on TV does not sound as good as studio recorded songs. I will look up the performances in iTunes later. I might like some enough to buy them.
Along with ending of American Idol 2010, my other favourite TV show 24 also ended. That should free up a lot of time for me in the summer.

Story of a 33 year old child
When the helpful elderly salesman was writing the invoice, he asked “Is this for your son?” (Aiden was still busy running around the store with so many guitars and pianos), I said “No, for me!”, “Aha” he replied. I followed with “I have waited for 30 years to learn piano, my son is lucky he will not wait that long”. The salesman smiled. I handed him my credit card, he handed me the big box that had the digital piano inside along with a smaller one for the stand and adapter in a plastic bag and that concluded the transaction. Now, I can practice piano at home!
