Actress, “Cabaret,” composer

I am an “American Idol” fan. I have watched both seasons religiously and was bummed out that rocker Patrick Lake didn’t make the cut and, of course, Frenchie as well. I am rooting for Ruben and for Kimberly Caldwell who is coming back into the competition after the “Wild Card” show.

I’m obsessed with these talented young people – and Simon’s candid comments.
