I didn’t watch last season but I remember seeing the video of the little girl who cried for Sanjaya. I thought she was oh, about 8 years old. I had no idea she was 13 until I saw something about her now crying for Jason Castro. It was also then I learned her name was Ashley Ferl, and if she was 13 when she cried for Sanjaya, she would probably now be 14.
(So can she attend all the American Idol tapings she wants? As long as she cries?)
Come on, Ashley Ferl! You’re 14. Are you telling me this is acceptable at your middle school? I don’t care of you’re getting free American Idol tickets! Middle school is a cruel & merciless place. I’ve blocked out my entire 7th and 8th grade years, especially any memory relating to a school dance. Crying shows weakness, Miss Ferl. You do not cry until you get home from school and crying on national television is never a good idea. I really like Jason Castro, too, but he hasn’t made me overcome with so much emotion that I shed tears. You need to control that sort of emotional overflow unless you want to die alone surrounded only by Nicholas Sparks books and the entire DVD set of Highway to Heaven.
