Thanks for the link to Mandisa's interview. What a wise and wonderful young woman! She is right...God has a plan for her. I can't wait to see what it is.
I thought it was one of the nicer interviews. While I was looking around the other night I did come across a site that was crying 'racism', complaining how the minorities are the first to go. I guess they forgot that Melissa and Kevin were white.
Here's a tid bit.
'Idol' Insider: Simon Breaks the Code of Silence
April 7, 2006

Simon and "Idol" Executive Producer Ken Warwick cut straight to the chase when Terri sat down with them in between auditions for their new NBC show, "America's Got Talent." The twosome even revealed two more secret "Idol" guest performers.
"Rod Stewart," Ken said. "Andrea Bocelli, we're trying to get. That should be interesting."
But Stewart and Bocelli will have to wait. Simon says he's just looking forward to next week when the "Idols" tackle the songs of Queen. "If you choose the right song, and you're clever with that song, it's all about having that moment," Cowell said. "There's a moment where you go, 'Oh my God.'"
And here's a little tidbit even Simon didn't know: one of the "Idols" will attempt to sing Queen's complex signature hit, "Bohemian Rhapsody."
"Well, I am dying to know who's going to sing that one," Simon said. "Because it will make you or break you."
