WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7th, in KEY WEST with LYNDA!!!!
AQUA IDOL REPORT!!!
A huge crowd filled Aqua Idol Nightclub on Tuesday evening! The evening began with a shocking elimination….one of the judge’s, and I thought, the audience favorites, Keith Dempster, whose final song was, appropriately, “SMILE”…even when your heart is breaking!!!! Also, a shocker…Sam Trophia announced that he will not be able to continue with the contest as he is needed in NC at his other home. So, still left are Chris Tanner, Darian, Laurie, and Bill Heller!!! Looks like this Idol Contest will be going into May! It was a fun-filled night, but filled with surprises, for sure!!!! Sure was fun sharing judging duties with Super Girl, Audrey Samz!!!
