Way to Represent Indiana

I have to admit that I'm a bit underwhelmed with this seasons top 24 contestants on American Idol. Weren't these guys and girls supposed to be the best finalists the show has ever compiled? Apparently they aren't quite as good as they were made out to be...

Although none of the performances throughout the past two nights were really outstanding, one contestant has really caught my attention and gathered my support. Amanda Overmeyer is a badass rocker chick who really seems like a genuine, down to earth person. She's a nurse by day and a Harley riding, slightly gothic woman by night. What's exciting about Amanda is that she is from little Mulberry, Indiana. This is about 15 minutes from my house. My family gets phone service from Mulberry Telephone Company... My dad's relatives always gather at Mulberry Community Part each June for a large reunion. It's really exciting to find out that someone from such a small Indiana town could make it on TV. I really think that Amanda will go far in this competition due to her rocker style and uncompromising attitude. This is why I really like her.
