Bring Us Your Pore

Apparently we weren't the only ones touched by Sherman Pore's lovely tribute to his lost lady on the Los Angeles auditions segment. There appears to be a groundswell building at the bulletin boards of the official AmericanIdol.com site where a a petition has been created to bring Sherman back to sing on the Season 6 finale show. Hey, it would sure beat watching Toni Braxton try to paw Taylor Hicks on the finale, as we did last season.

Among the postings on the board, was this one from "ageless idol":
" ... His focus was not on himself but on how he could make someone else happy. I think it was one of the best most selfless moments of all of the American Idol seasons/shows and Simon's reaction to him was a lesson to us all that gracious behavior is needed and appreciated in this world today ... "

As we wrote this, 189 people (including us) had responded to the posting.
