AI Top 4 Results: Allison, Your Aim Is True
(Here's the American Idol Report Card from jeffreychrist!)
It could have been Hurricane Katrina, Brooklyn style, here at home this evening, as my partner Rob’s tears flowed like torrents and I sat pensively staring at the TV (Hey, I don’t cry. Unless I’m watching “The Color Purple”. Or “E.T.” Oh, screw it. I blubber with the best of them) knowing this was the probable conclusion. Through the gasps of breath and the swallowing of words, Rob stated, forlornly and bittersweetly, “Of all the nights! Rock week! She was rockiest of them all!!!” And who am I to disagree? Rather who would I be if I disagreed? Not the true fan of Allison that I am. No journey moved me more than this spitfire’s from Los Angeles. With no grassroots fundamentalist campaign or sad-sack back story, no dead relatives, and no Jesus complex, she relied solely on raw talent and an undeniable force of will, and proved - beyond a shadow of any doubt - that she stands as the greatest teen Idol of all 8 seasons.
