Fortuitous Bouncing

American Idol Thought- No big surprises for me Thursday night. I was at the iTunes music store last night and saw that Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah was the #2 song. For those of you who don’t recognize the magnitude of Idol, this is the best example I have for you. One guy who is middle of the road in the final 12 (cause I can’t remember his name, so he can’t be that good) sang that song and did pretty well and now that INCREDIBLE song is now being recognized again.
