I haven't posted much in here yet but I am quite the fan of Paul this season. I've voted for him each week thus far. Love love love him!

You can fill this out if you want to or just tell us a little about yourself

Name: Katie
From: Alabama (like Paul )
Favorite Idol(s) from past seasons: Chris Daughtry (#1 fave), David Cook, Carrie Underwood, Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson, Lee Dewyze, Katharine McPhee, Michael Johns, Jordin Sparks, Elliott Yamin, etc.
Any favorites this season besides Paul: I like them all but I've been voting for Paul and Stefano, who is so cute I'm also a fan of Casey, James, Pia and Lauren.
Why you're a fan of Paul: He seems like a fun guy and is odd and quirky (in a good way). I just love him

Name: Lindsay
From: Michigan
Favorite Idol(s) from past seasons: My overall favorite Idols of all time would be Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Megan Joy, and Kris Allen
Any favorites this season besides Paul: Pia, Haley, Scotty and Stefano
Why you're a fan of Paul: In my opinion, he is the male version of Megan. Megan is my favorite ever, so when Paul came along, I thought I was dreaming. I love him because his voice is like nothing Idol has ever had before. I bought The Grand Magnolias album on iTunes, so I know for a fact that I'll love whatever he puts out after Idol. He seems like a really nice, genuine guy off the stage as well.
Any other facts about you: I LOVE sports, especially baseball! I'm going to school to hopefully become a sports broadcaster one day.

OP, I think I may have seen you around during Season 4, the Bo era good times, good times.

I think I'll fill this one out!

Name: Cat
From: Manila, PH
Favorite Idol(s) from past seasons: Bo Bice, Jason Castro, Blake Lewis, David Cook, Siobhan Magnus. (I have little to no interest in Season 5 and 8, and stopped watching 9 after Sio left )
Any favorites this season besides Paul: I love them all!! They're all so adorable and sweet, although musically I don't really like listening to Jacob's and Stefano's too much.
Why you're a fan of Paul: Because he seems like such a nice, chill guy who has worked SO HARD to try to make it big. I love that he's not a pretentious music snob that he's willing to try Idol, knowing that it might backfire within the indie community. He's also very cute
Any other facts about you: I'm a law student, on summer vacation (so it's quite handy to start becoming involved with Idol around this time ) I love working on Photoshop.

Lucky! You should post in the baseball thread! Although there's a big Dodgers fan in there, hopefully you two won't clash.

But yeah, I wish I could go to the Tigers Opening Day next week! And that's cool you're a teacher, I'm a teacher's assistant!

[OliveJane]

Name: Rachel
From: Colorado
Favorite Idol(s) from past seasons: David Cook, Carrie Underwood, Brooke White, Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtery
Any favorites this season besides Paul: Umm... Well I'm definitely the biggest fan of Paul's, but I also like Casey and James. The rest aren't as impressive to me.
Why you're a fan of Paul: How to narrow it down... Haha. Well first and foremost, his voice. Paul's audition made me a fan because of his amazing voice. It's raspy(-ish) and unique, and he has so much passion in his voice, all of these make it difficult for me to stop listening to his voice. Also, when he performs, he tells a story when he sings and his voice is infectious. Also, Paul is crazy talented. He plays multiple instruments, writes amazing lyrics, and (let's face it) is all around awesome. Not to mention Paul is smart! Now for artificiality, Paul is so damn charming. His dancing is crazy and cute, his smile is infectious, his eyes shine, and he is impossibly cute. Come on, how could you NOT be a fan?
Any other facts about you: I'm a high school student, I want to be a teacher, I have a fascination with names, I enjoy writing and reading, and I love anything that has to do with music (even though I can't sing or play or an instrument).
