Lest there be any doubt that I am watching ‘American Idol’ here is the proof. And not just watching, not some detached analyses about the spectacle where I remain aloof about the results, but actually participating! These are the notes my wife and I have been keeping. And not that ‘Idol’ is  some kind of judgement on the viewers—no! it’s about the contestants—our favorites have been making it through. Last night’s wild card round did us right: pop cutie Megan made it in and, in a last-minute, heart-lifting expansion of the final group from twelve to thirteen (not since Mackie was pardoned by the Queen was a last-minute judgement so inspiring), so did Anoop.
