Ode to Ace
: :
I don't really watch American Idol. I have a persistent distrust of network television, and I can't seem to find anything edifying on TV anymore. Still, I tried to watch some of this season's Idol because my good friend's brother, Ace Young was one of the contestants (and no, I won't give you his contact information, or his brother's ;). Ace has been pursuing a career in music for as long as I can remember, and I commend him for how far he made it on the show. What really makes Ace a true star is that his is a genuinely nice guy. During the height of the Ace craze on Idol, he took the time (upon my request) to autograph and send a 8.5" x 11" glossy to me for my sister's birthday. Ace recognized how much it would mean to my sister (who is a big Idol fan), and took time out of his busy schedule to make it happen.

As of yesterday, Ace will no longer be vying for the Idol limelight. Still, I have no doubt that he will continue to be successful whether he decides to continue his career in music, acting, or anything else for that matter. WTG Ace.

The Real Ace

This is the signed glossy that Ace sent to my sister during the height of Idol madness.
