Who will be lucky in the 13th season of American Idol?

When I was young, I really thought I have what it takes to be a successful singer someday.

The reason? Well, I am such a lousy dancer so I suppose I am better in belting  out songs than wiggling on the dance floor. It's actually an unwritten law that I like to continue believe.

I was also good in memorizing lyrics. I know many sing like the back of my hand. And when I forgot some lines, I just look at the back of my hand for key words I wrote on it to remind me of the lyrics of the song. 

If I am only a Fil-Am guy, I might have joined singing contest like the American Idol, the only TV singing competition show to produce numerous hit and award-winning recording artists.
