The pretense is over and the finally, the rollercoaster that is American Idol: Season 4 is drawing to a close. The lesser competitors have fallen, and all that remains are Carrie and Bo -2 kids with big hearts, big voices, and big hair.

And now, it is time for me to endorse my candidate for American Idol 2005.

I admit, both candidates can really blow - And not in just one sense of the word. I’m talking about blowing in every single way. You see, just as everything in the world has the opposing forces of yin and yang guiding them from within, so does each of the American Idols have something I call Happy Blow and Crappy Blow.

(Happy) Blow v. 1. Great singer, strong voice (”Dawg, you really sang that song great. You can blow!”)

(Crappy) Blow v. 1. To be of poor quality, displeasing (”Those skank-a$$ sunglasses really blow.”)

In the case of Bo Bice there is also a third blow that comes into play. This blow got him arrested on felony drug charges - but I digress.

And now, without further ado, I would like to announce my pick for American Idol: Season 4, Search for a Star is: *drum roll please*

Bo “he just might be half sheep dog” Bice.

In his admittedly stunning performance on Tuesday night, he blew the audience away with a surprise a cappella offering that, in my opinion, did not suck. Back home in ‘Bama he seemed genuine, enthusiastic, and gosh darn it, he already looked like an American Idol winner.

Congratulations Bo!

I’m voting for Bice, despite the lice. (tm DonutDave)

Carrie you can sing, but you’re a bit too wooden. If you try real hard, maybe some day you’ll be a real boy.

Til next, adieu!
