  I don't know if any of you watch American Idol. But, I do. I love it. See, I like to sing, and I'm pretty decent. My friends actually ask me to sing in their weddings and stuff. I also always wanted to be famous, but never really had the drive to get there.
But, sometimes...well, American Idol gives me a chance to live vicariously through other people who want the same thing I did, but who actually are willing to go out there and get it. Or at least try. So, this past season of American Idol, I watched every episode. There was this guy I thought was amazing - his name was Marque Lynch. He was on the Mickey Mouse Club with Britney, Justin, et.al., but he hasn't made it yet. I loved him. He was a really great singer, an amazing dancer - and really good looking. But, Simon didn't love him. He cut him, at the wild card show, with a "you aren't meant for this competition. " He told him he should be on Broadway. Well, Marque Lynch IS on broadway - or at least, OFF broadway. I went to see Fame, the Musical last night, and there he was!
The whole performance it was bugging me - I kept thinking that the dude looked like the guy I loved from American Idol. But, I kept telling myself that my eyes were deceiving me. Actually, what I thought was - "Meg you are a horrible person - you think all black people look alike. " I really was thinking that. I didn't think it could possibly be him, so I thought I was just being stupidly racist - (doing the thing that white people do to African Americans - "You look just like Eddie Murphy!
" when who ever it is looks NOTHING like him). BUT!!! I was RIGHT! At the end of the show, when the lights came up, I read my playbill and there he was! Marque Lynch! From American Idol! It was pretty fun. I guess Simon was right - he was made for Off Broadway!
