She did great, but figure the odds, 200 out of 16,000 - 18,000. Sucks. I saw so many sad faces and broken hearts it was kind of sad, but she is strong and we had fun and that is what counts. Enjoy the photos.

Sorry she didn't make it. For what it is worth, that was an awesome thing of you to do for your daughter! Not a lot of parents will give their kids the support they deserve.
Damn straight!
Oh by the way, the Buccos and Injuns are in first place. I say I take you to a world series game in Pittsburgh and you take me in Cleveland.

RD,
The thing is she got some exposure and some confidence, I'm sure.
The other thing is talent was discovered long before this show. It has become more of a money and drama show than a real talent search anyway. RATINGS
With her invitations to return to the other places you went the road to stardom could be longer but well worth the trip.
Just looked on line with a local news station and if they are correct after the third round freaking 5 people made it out of Pittsburgh to the October tryouts. Freaking 5 is all they could pass after all the talent I saw and heard. I think Idol has their mind set each season to the kind of talent they are looking for. Example, we don't want country this year, lets look for rock, or we don't want rock this year lets look for Michael Bolten kind of stuff. Not saying it as "sour grapes" just saying if a person has talent put them through and let America pick, not the prouducers. Oh well.
I think that is one reason why I hate TV so much any more "Reality" TV isn't even real. It is almost produced more than sitcoms are. It is sad really.
I would Bro but I get dish for free. What a experience.
