Click*Click

Joe and I were on the same two pages, last night. "X Factor" bumped the "Dancing With The Stars" results show. I clicked in time, though, to see and hear Chaz Bono depart with dignity and grace, his mission accomplished. That's not the dance mission, obviously; he didn't make it to the finals. Rather, it's his survival mission, in gaining recognition for those who are radically different in this judgmental world we live in. Judge Bruno Tonioli was vile, the previous night. He doesn't deserve space on my blog or any other, for that matter. Suffice it to say that his vicious name-calling was noted, and Chaz excelled in the Class Category. I still remember the first time Sonny and Cher brought Chastity on stage. That infectious little smile is the one thing that can't be changed.
It wins. Click...

Josh Krajcik did Dylan proud in his crystal clear version of the classic, "Forever Young". Whether or not he'll win the popular vote and the ultimate prize remains to be seen. But the consensus amongst the judges is that Josh is in a class of his own, voice-wise. I've adopted him. I actually felt tension yesterday, in awaiting his turn. You know... the kind of stress you feel when you're wanting a child to do his or her best. He wins, whatever happens. Click...

That's all she wrote, till next week.
