Awww!  Thats such a cute story!!

Speaking of top 40 singles, I would have to say that I do like "So
Yesterday" and "Since U Been Gone" and actually most of what Kelly
Clarkson has done (though it had to grow on me), but of the American
Idols, I gotta say, Clay Aiken is my favorite.  Of course, this coming
from a girl who came out of the N*Sync closet a good 5 or 6 years ago,
so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.  :)

I actually find I like a lot of the top 40 pop singles.  They have
hooks and melodies that really catch me.  Sometimes the production is
a little too slick for my taste, but not always, and sometimes I wish
the singer was someone different, but I've discovered some good stuff
on top 40.  Like Gavin Degraw - I first saw him on the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, but his whole album is fairly solid imo, and
one day while walking around with my Zen on random, a song came up
that before the vocals kicked in, I wondered if it wasn't a Mike Viola
rareity that my husband hadn't snuck on there as a surprize for me.
