Missouri Reality Stars

Hollywood week on American Idol is only half over, but at this point the Show Me State still has two contenders in the running. India Morrison showed her stuff on Wednesday night’s group performance episode. This 22-year-old Kansas City native rapped her way into my heart and those of her three male group mates I would imagine. Plus, she’s cute as a button.

Our other hopeful is Von Smith of Greenwood. This guy had a mini-meltdown on Tuesday night’s episode but only because he wants this sooo bad. If you recall, his is the performance Simon called “indulgent rubbish” I believe, then went on to compare him to a 10 year old. But the judges still love him, and this home state does too. I just hope he can get a little more self confidence going and not over think himself into breakdownville.

And so the torture will continue for these two next week. The competition will be broken down to 36 contestants. Then we get to watch as the judges bring them into a room one by one and tell them their fate. It sure would be nice to see these guys on the live performance stage. They’ve both got great potential.
