R.I.P. dearest friend and fellow writer ...

Linda Cann Pearson @LindaCPearson (2240) • United States 25 Jul 18

Hi, everybody. I haven't posted in quite a while. I just didn't feel like writing and really didn't have much of anything interesting to say. I hope all of you are doing well. A few weeks ago I lost my best friend of some 40-plus...

American Idol – Monday night update

Linda Cann Pearson @LindaCPearson (2240) • United States 14 Mar 18

I watched American Idol again Monday night. I found the quality of the contestants a bit more promising than Sunday night’s debut, like the girl with the pretty blue eyes seeking a career in singing rather than going into the...

American Idol returns - I’m not impressed

Linda Cann Pearson @LindaCPearson (2240) • United States 12 Mar 18

I watched the reincarnation of American Idol last night. Although it’s early into the new season, my initial reaction is that I wasn't impressed. The contestants were mediocre except for Noah, the pink-cheeked guy with the big...

American Idol returns tonight - will you be watching?

Linda Cann Pearson @LindaCPearson (2240) • United States 11 Mar 18

I will. Other than missing a few shows way back when Idol first began, I faithfully watched every season, although my enthusiasm did wane over the years. My favorite idols remain David Cook with Adam Lambert as a close second. In...

Last night's Oscars - tanked ratings and so boring ....

Linda Cann Pearson @LindaCPearson (2240) • United States 5 Mar 18

I wasn't going to watch the Oscars last night. I have an intense dislike for anything Hollywood. But curiosity got the best of me and I did watch a few hours, eventually falling asleep both from boredom and not giving a hoot who...

Linda Cann Pearson @LindaCPearson (2240) • United States 5 Feb 18

Not over the Super Bowl - I really didn't care which team won. I cried throughout the entire hour of This Is Us, which followed the Super Bowl on the same channel. What a tearjerker. I think I've cried during every episode of This...
