Catching Up on American Idol

I caught a repeat episode of one of last season’s episodes with the girl’s singing and still trying to make the finalists pick. I caught the very end of the episode and got to see Kelli Pickler sing.

This was the episode that Simon called Kelli a “naughty little minx”, with Kelli of course not understanding exactly what he was talking about.

You know who I was still in the mix that I really liked as a contestant, but was voted off the next episode? Ayla Brown.

This night she sang Natasha Beddingfield’s “Unwritten”, which I had before but only in passing. Ever since hearing it that night it piqued my interest in Natasha’s voice and I eventually purchased her album. Getting back to Ayla though, I wonder how she’s doing, she was really tall and actively involved in her high school sports. Anybody got an update on Ayla?
