American Idol started tonight. There was a young lady auditioning in Boston. If I remember correctly she is 16 and named Maddy Curtis. They did a little video of her family, and she has 4 brothers, all with DS! I am trying to remember everything they said, I believe one is a natural child of the parents, and the other 4 are adopted! They seem to be a great family. She has a very good voice, and is on to Hollywood for the next part, so hopefully we will see more of her family.

I DVR'd it to watch ity tonight but my curiosity got the best of me so I googled her name. What a wonderful story and beautiful voice to go with it. I think I've already chosen who I want to win. Mary Grace

Once Cindy Casten reminded me, I do remember Barbara from the UpsNDowns list, but quite a while ago. Just didn't put everything together last night.

And watching that clip to the end, you'd think Ryan Seacrest had never got a hug from somebody with an extra chromosome before. Don't know if that's truly the case, but if so, hope it was a rich learning experience for him. Maybe others will learn something too. But not me and Simon, of course. We already know everything. -- Bob
