Gedeon McKinney (American Idol)

I am happy with the latest American Idol contestant representing Memphis. It is a seventeen year old young man, that's still excited about life's possibilities. His attitude about life isn't marred by racism, thank the lord. Which I think is largely the reason for his success. He is a spiritual young man. He consistently gives God the glory. I like his singing style, but I don't expect him to make it to the finals. He did a rendition of a Al Green tune "let's stay together", which is always popular with the crowd. If a singer has the ability, and can pull it off. I'll have to wait and see, how versatile his performance styles are. I didn't see the other twins I liked,the sixteen year olds. I guess they got eliminated. They were more of a tagteam duo, this may have been the wrong competition for them.Whatever happens at this point, he has shown himself to be a fine talented young man. Not a gifted thug, like the Brittenum twins turned out to be. Memphis has a history of characters, that end up overshadowing the areas genuine talent. The fact that Gedeon has made it to the final twenty four contestants. He has already done, the city of Memphis proud.
