Idol Thoughts 3/7
http://www.deanesmay.com/posts/1141774095.shtml


   I'll be at work tonight during American Idol but will watch it when I
   get home in the morning and will post my thoughts. Feel free to
   comment here until then.

   I'm seriously hoping to see Taylor Hicks break out big this week,
   although I don't know if he'll be performing tonight or tomorrow.

   By the way, I see that [1]at least one other person shares my
   suspicion that Taylor has a mild case of cerebral palsy. To be more
   specific, I'm guessing it's a mild hemiplegia, probably affecting his
   left side, and probably treated very successfully when he was a child.

   It's just a guess of course, and I may be completely wrong, but it's
   interesting to me that I'm not the only one who noticed that his
   slightly odd movements appear to be more than an act. Regardless,
   they're not that bad and people need to get over it. (Since I have
   Tourette's Syndrome myself, perhaps I'm a little more tolerant than
   others but yeesh, some people need to get over it.)

   Anyway I'm looking forward to tonight's episode. I just hope it's not
   as boring as last week. I suspect it won't be, the contestands must
   know they've got to kick it up several notches if they're going to
   win.
