Now comes the dreaded waiting game, keep those fingers crossed and hope that Gail Farrell and her song "You Can Do Anything" will be chosen the winner!
I did my part voting for Gail Farrell's song (You Can Do Anything) in the American Idol Songwriter 2008 contest, the full ten stars.
Have you voted yet....If not, whaddya waiting for?!
Go to American Idol's webpage and to quote Larry the Cable Guy, "Git Er Done!"
On American Idol, all you Welk fans out there have a voice in choosing the next big songwriter in the US of A....about twenty are in the running and one of them is our own Gail Farrell!
Gail and her masterpiece, "You Can Do Anything" is in the running. You first heard it on "Precious Memories" and now you can take it to even bigger heights!
Just go to AI's webpage by clicking here at AMERICAN IDOL SONGWRITER 2008
On the menu, under SHOW GUIDE, click on AMERICAN IDOL SONGWRITER, you'll be asked for your email and password to log in to see the entries (for first time users, you can register...they'll show you how).
Once logged in and everything else...be sure to vote for "You Can Do Anything" on a scale of 1-10 stars....I know you guys out there will give a perfect 10.
Let's do it for Gail and all the Champagne Music Makers! Voting ends on April 23rd.
At first, it may sound silly....especially since everybody in the Free World knows about the popular star from FOX's American Idol, but here's my two cents on this.
From what I have seen, and yes....I usually don't watch Idol until now....Sanjaya Malakar of Federal Way, Washington has potential. He has great stage presence, a likeable fellow with a nice smile, personality, and his charisma lights up when he performs for the audience. I betcha that if the Welk show was still on the air, the Maestro would take a liking to this kid....he's a great candidate for the Welk organizatrion's Youth Oppurtunity Program, where he can get superb training for his vocals and his talents by the staff....work at Escondido as the Welk Resort's singing host and who knows....appear on the show first as a guest and if fan letter reaction is positive.....become a permanent member of the musical family!
By the way, he did make it into the Top Ten tonight....so the sky's the limit.
Remember to keep a song in your heart
....and vote for Sanjaya!
