Ophelia, and Everybody, Vote for Mookie

Mookie had yet another spectaculars performance on Monday. Sienna watched the show on youtube 12 hours later. She went, “I am going to say this like a big girl. Mookie Morris, you rock so much. Please rock more.”

Sienna usually made no mistake in that regard. When Mookie did “The Man Who Sold the World,” Sienna commented, “Mookie wanted to go fast. The drummer beat the drum too fast, he had to go slow.” And here is my conversation with her when we were discussing Mookie’s participation in Canadian Idol.

Me: “Sienna, Mookie is becoming a superstar.”
Sienna: ”Is he going to be on 99.9FM? (She listens to the Toronto station live everyday via the web)”
Me: ”Oh yea!”
Sienna: ”What about his mom?”
Me: ”She is already a superstar.”

While all the judges and mentors speak highly of Mookie, the voting has not been most favorable to him. He landed on the bottom three again this week. I hope he didn’t feel that he could have done it better. He did his best. Something about the multiple voting system. I did a calculation after they released the number of total votes last week for top 8. It took a small portion of a small town to vote non-stop within the 2-hour frame to cover hundred of thousand votes. Toronto is too big and too busy a town to care enough for having the glory a national idol could bring to them. Something needs to be done to get to the attention.
