It's official: American Idol is launching its first songwriting contest with details today at USA Today and more to follow at the AI songwriting site.
According to Iain Pirie of 19 Entertainment, the objective is to find undiscovered songwriting talent in the same way AI elevates singers from obscurity. He says. "You can literally imagine a 50-year-old mom sitting in her living room with a portable keyboard, coming up with a great song."
That's me! I am a 50-year-old mom and I spend lots of time in my living room recliner on a portable keyboard. Seriously, though, I am a frustrated songwriter and I do plan to enter the contest.
Please vote for me!
ETA: Oops! I didn't enter after all. My son decided not to sing on my demo and I couldn't scrounge up another good singer to record my composition before the deadline. The pros and semi-pros in bands and with access to studios really have an advantage over 50-year-old moms sitting in their living rooms.

Now Blogging: Chris Sligh
From His Mind to Our Eyes
The only upside to last night's elimination of Chris Sligh from the American Idol competition is that now Chris can spend more time with his loved ones, catch up on his sleep and share his unique perspective and humor again at From My Mind to Your Eyes. Yes, he's back among the blogging.
This morning on Good Day LA, Chris joked that maybe he should have worn a fro-hawk. He seemed genuinely upbeat and co-host Dorothy Lucey is another disappointed fan.
I will blog more later after I have exorcised all the bitterness. "Bye bye, Curly," indeed.

Vote for Chris Sligh
1-866-436-5710
Did Chris Sligh give a shout out to Dave of Vote for the Worst's False Idols?
Didn't he see the unflattering graphics VFTW posters made in perverse tribute to him, like When Pigs Fly above?
Will the idiots-in-charge retaliate against him? Ruh roh.
Stay tuned!
