My instincts say…Luke Menard..looks good
He really does. At a ripe age of 29, he is practically a grampa among those young dudes in the Top 24 but I love his after 5 look in this photo
.
He doesn’t have the piercing eyes of some of the other contestants but again, he is one of the few I remember hearing sing last week. He is from Crawfordsville, Indiana and he auditioned in Omaha. His favorite quote is quite comical and reminds me of something my principal in elementary school once said. His version goes like this, “Don’t fight. But if you have to…hit first and hit hard.” My principals version was “Don’t fight, but if someone else hits you, don’t take a whoopin’ because you know you are gonna get one when Mama finds out you’ve been fighting.”
Ok, his musical influence have me a bit perplexed. James Taylor, Take 6, Chapter 6, John Mayer (hey, I know him), Maroon 5 (what’s up with all the numbers), Keane, Billy Joel I know him too) and the Bee Gees (the Bee Gees? really? I like them too). I have to wonder about these influences that get thrown out there.
He says he started singing as a freshman in high school and that he has no other formal training. He also lists Tracy Chapman and Kelly Clarkson as his favorite female pop artists. Tracy Chapman, yea, I like him, but er…Kelly is just not one of my favorites.
