So American Idol is taking over my town tonight.
Kris Allen is a student at UCA and his parents live twenty minutes away. Apparently, when an “Idol” contestant makes it to the final three the show comes to their hometown to film a concert so last week we had 20,000 people lining the streets downtown for a parade and concert.
Tonight they are back! The cameras are back to film crowd reaction for the announcement of the winner. There are thousands of people wearing Kris Allen tee-shirts and roaming groups of pre-teen girls bursting into tears whenever they hear his name. It’s like Beatles-mania only much, much more pathetic.
So if he wins, I’m assuming the whole town is going to turn into a nightmare carnival of pre-adolesent girls and soccer moms.
