^ LMAO @ GrimlyFiendish!! You made me spit out my coffee.

YES! I'm so glad you front-paged her! When I found that YouTube video, I thought "this is either too good to be true or a gift from Buddy Jesus".

Please be real, Shannon <3. (And yeah, I actually do kinda dig her voice. It's theatrical, but it's the farthest thing from boring.)

I'm having visions of her Laura-drawn-caricature....Must.not.get.hopes.up.too.soon.

Also, her facial expression = so choppable.

I changed the lyrics of her song to include the words "Fuck Your Mom."  Her singing style and attitude reminds me of Nell Carter in her younger days.  Love.Her!

Ok, maybe its my old age, but all I could hear was the piano, for the most part. And I hate to throw a damper on the party, but I'm throwing a little caution to the wind. Remember, we all loved Adam Lambert at first, but look at the sellout douchebag he turned out to be. But, if this gal stays true to herself, she'll be phenomenal. Unfortunately, she wouldn't have a chance in hell of getting far in AI, so that's the tradeoff.

Shannon is perfect and I love her. You will love her. When you get the chance, vote the SHIT out of her... If she succeeds then I will forever have faith in American Idol... because she deserves it.
