Ha! A young lady from my Home Town on American Idol

[donco6]

Jessica Furney from Wamego, Kansas.

I almost fell over. I never watch the show, but hubby Dwaine had it on and came running up the stairs to tell me.

I thought she did really well. Did anyone else see her?

1. I didn't see it, but wish her the best!

Go--Wamego!

2. Just right down the road.

Cool. I hope she does well. I have never seen the show and will not be watching but it is cool to have someone from a small, nice place like Wamego on it, especially since you are from there. :hi:

11. Hi Muse.

Yes. It's really just a hoot. Of all places - I was just so shocked. And they showed Main Street and the Oz museum (which was originally stocked with a friend of mine's Oz collection). Small world.

3. When did this forum become the new Lounge?

4. A little after you became the self-pronounced GLBT Forum Voice of Reason

8. I still don't understand why you post here at all.

5. Which one is she?

6. She did the Janis Joplin song.

20-ish, long brown hair, home-grown look.

She really was pretty good. She'll make it through a few rounds at least.

The town is all of 5,000 people, maybe. It's turned into a tourist town since I lived there - All things OZ. Big museum. Lots of shops like Emerald City Market, Totos Tacoz, etc. It's a gay haven. Went there with Dwaine last year for my 30th reunion.

7. I remember her! I thought she would suck (the ones singing Janis usually do for some reason)

She was good!

[donco6]

10. Yes, I heard some last time.

Why people even try to do her is beyond me.

They had a crazy lady one year who just went ballistic when they trashed her Joplin number.

That show is bizarre. Dwaine loves it, but I really have a hard time with the early picking stuff.
