Who's your Idol?

So I'll be honest, I gave up on American Idol after Fantasia won, a couple cycles ago. But this season I've watched a few episodes. It wasn't surprising to me at all that most of the finalists aren't very talented.

The problem with American Idol is everyone has their own opinions. Everyone has their own favorites and their least favorites. Like my Mom, as soon as her favorite idol is voted off, she vows to never watch the show again. But she's still a faithful watcher.

Her favorite this season is Melinda, as is mine. I think shes almost everyones favorite, the judges never have anything bad to say about her. I'd really like to see her win. But seriously -- what is the deal with Sanjaya!? I don't even know what he is still doing on the show! I think a lot of Americans are feeling the same way. So who is voting for him?!?!

Anyway, who's your idol??

Continuing Wildlife

Bindi Irwin is set to debut her new show on June 9th. It is going to premiere on Discovery Kids Channel. "Bindi: The Jungle Girl" is designed to get more kids interested in wildlife conservation.

Bindi is the eight year old daughter of the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin. Steve died after being stung with a sting ray last September but his legacy still lives on through his wife and children.

I don't know much about wildlife but from the looks of it, Bindi is very brave for interacting with these animals like she does. She will be interacting with all kinds of animals from elephants to koalas.

Bindi began shooting the show early last year with her father and the show will air with footage of Bindi and her father before his death. She is also hosting an hour special, "My Daddy the Croc Hunter" that will feature clips of Steve and young Bindi.

I happen to catch Bindi on the Ellen Degeneres show just a few short months after the death of her father. She spoke proudly about the work her father did and how she wanted to be just like him.

I think this show is great for young kids to see another young child interact with animals. Because if there are any kids out there like me, who are afraid of animals, they will appreciate it!

Later Daze!
