Last Minute Thriller

Watch for him in the finale.
Bry came over on Thursday night to watch BYU play Florida.  They lost in overtime, and it would have been a disappointing evening except we turned to watch the end of American Idol to see who was being sent home.  Bry has never watched a complete episode of Idol, so he didn't realize how momentous it was.  Casey, a genius of a musician, had the fewest votes so he had to sing for his life.  The judges never save anyone this early in the competition.  They weren't even to the top ten.  But when Casey started singing, Ryan stopped everything.  The judges said he didn't need to sing, they were absolutely saving him.  The eleven left will go on the summer tour instead of ten.  That five minutes on Idol was so much more dramatic than the basketball game.  The evening was thrilling.
