American Idol, the fems

Did anyone else enjoy the performances from some of these girls last night? Katherine Macphee blew me away from her first audition singing God bless the child, and there were 4 or 5 great perfomances last night. After the last 5 years of clueless and talentless vapid pop teens like Bittney and gang it was refreshing to hear some poised and talented singers some young as 16 performing live in front of millions so well. Hopefully this need breed of rising stars will finally kill this " stupid girl " image that has dominated mainstream music over the last few years. Any comments? JMHO
