I really love the song “I’ll Stand By You” and I’m glad that Angela picked it, but I wasn’t blown away by it the way I was by Candice. I just see that Candice can find a way to be more dramatic than Angie more each week and pulling it off better. Since I have to work late at my office at DISH, I can’t watch it live. I can’t wait until the next evening because someone at work will spoil it for me, so I always watch on my DISH Hopper DVR when I’m getting ready for work. I know I’ll always have it to watch because my Hopper records Idol on FOX as well as every other show on primetime TV each night, and I can watch it that week whenever it’s convenient.
