Abbey Rondo: American Idol?

American Idol!  It was on last night, and even though Abbey's performance in which he won the Golden Ticket to Hollywood wasn't show, she was on briefly.  But she's all over the place here in Oakland County (including on the elevator where I saw her today at work!)

Abbey made the front page of the Oakland Press on Friday, January 26 (read the story here).  Last night after American Idol, she was on the local news (see link to interview below). Then this morning, she was interviewed on Channel 95.5 Radio, and 103.5 Christian Radio in the afternoon.  Wow!  What a whirlwind!

I missed Abbey's interview this morning on 95.5, but Craig Mayes mentioned it at church tonight.  Apparently Mojo issued a challenge to Kensington's pastor, Steve Andrews, to cancel church next Wednesday night so members could stay home and watch for Abbey on American Idol.  Craig called out to Steve who was sitting in the audience and Steve declared, "I say we do both!" --------------> So someone will be watching American Idol backstage and if Abbey comes on?  The big screens in the auditorium will go straight from Craig to Abbey!  How perfect is that?

Oh ... and rumor has it Abbey will be singing this weekend at Kensington's Main Campus in Troy.  You're invited to join us!  And it's Super Bowl Sunday, too, isn't it?  Kensington always has a special message on Super Bowl Sunday "blending football with theology"; this year it's "Who's Your MVP?", with special guest speaker .. Detroit Lions' Quarterback Jon Kitna !!

American Idol

Unlike many Americans, I've never even seen this show.

But last night I watched the Season Six Premiere.  I was looking for Abbey Rondo.  Remember that name.  Abbey Rondo.  Because she just might be the next American Idol!

Abbey works at Kensington.  And she sings at Kensington.  She is amazing.  We know that she made it through numerous cuts during try-outs for American Idol, in fact, she made it through cuts up to a point that she wasn't allowed to tell us anything anymore.  So ... we at Kensington have to wait ... just like everyone else!
