I read an interview with Lakisha from American Idol. Did you watch? She got voted off - but hey it's just the beginning for her. Great things on the horizon for sure!

She said she was crying and holding her 4 year old girl. The little girl wiped away Lakisha's tears and said, "It's ok mommy, I'm not mad."

How stinkin' cute is that?

Hey Sanjaya, your 15 minutes is up, bud!

Now, Let the REAL competition begin!

Here's my pick for this season's American Idol.

Yep, I'm stepping out and predicting the winner before the show even really begins. This is Lakisha Jones from Flint Michigan. I LOVE THIS GIRL. She's a bank teller with a little 4 year old girl. They both cried and cried when she made it to Hollywood. She really wants to change her life and the fire in her belly is obvious as she sings.

Lakisha, girl, you can SANG!
