An "American Idol" contestant to root for...
I don't start watching "American Idol" until they narrow the contestants down to the final 20. The freakshow that sometimes takes place in the early auditions are not at all appealing when I have so many other things I could be doing.
But by not watching, I missed out on what was a really sweet audition (thank God for YouTube!) from Leo Marlow who sang one of my favorite songs ever ("A Song for You") and sung it very well. But the best part was his back-and-forth with the judges prior to launching into the song when he told Randy, Paula and Simon: "My mom always said she raised the perfect Homecoming Queen, it's just too bad it wasn't one of her daughters."
Watch it for yourselves!

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

He just seemed so sweet and humble, how refreshing was that?
And it doesn't hurt that he's got a very nice soulful voice too.
