LEO!!! haha - i know this guy. Must say i'm not an avid follower of american idol, but it's nice to see leo on tv! Some of you guys might be familiar with Celebration Iowa, which used to be the Iowa State Fair Singers. It's a touring show choir and jazz band sponsored by Luther College and many others that puts on 30-40 shows each summer all over iowa. I was a singer/dancer in 2002, as was Leo. NOW that you know my life story - i just thought i'd post all that so you can all have an idea about this home-grown iowan talent. haha :-)
I worked with a kid who tried out in Omaha. He said he waited in line almost 5 hours and he was given around five seconds to sing (not a surprise) before he was buzzed off.
As for Council Bluffs... I'm not from there but theres nothing about it I haven't seen anywhere else. In fact, the Omaha metro area has really invested alot into making itself a nice city by establishing venues and culture, including Council Bluffs. Something I wish Des Moines would do more of.
