Are you an American Idol fan? Over the years, I’ve been drawn in. And, this by far, is the most incredible competition I’ve seen.
One of my absolute favorite singers is James Durbin. Diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome and Asperger’s, he has overcome a lot to sing on the Idol stage.
But, look closer. See what he’s wearing? It’s the Blue Buddha necklace created by my freind, Jessica Mindich. I first profiled Jessica and Jewelry for a Cause here….when she introduced her Pink Buddha necklace, which I have.
So, if you are looking for a gift for that graduating senior, pre teen or teenage girl or boy, consider a Blue Buddha necklace (priced @ $28.50), which supports the charity, Do Something.
Click here to see who else is sporting Jewelry for a Cause! Here’s a hint….First Lady, Michelle Obama and Maria Shriver are among them.
Who’s your pick to win American Idol?
James is one of our favorite, too, and Scotty could turn us into country music lovers and Paul looks like a young Sting… so much talent this season! Love that James supports Jewelry for a Cause!
xxoo
James is super talented, whether he wins the big prize or not..he is destined to be a star. There are so many talented singers this year, wow its amazing!! Love that he is supporting this..good for him. Its nice to read and learn more behind the great voices!!
How cool that your friend designed his necklace. I agree… he's very talented and I LOVE that his tourette's has not held him back from grabbing life by the horns. xo
How wonderful! There are so many good singers and good causes, one would think with all these bhudda's being worn that something good is in store for each of the contestants. I love Scotty and Pia is beautiful.
I like the judges this year too.

Goodness! I feel like I am missing out now!! This is the 1st year EVER that I have not watched. Makes me want to tune in now 🙂 About to board a plane and head to Dallas XO, Kelly
I watched the first episode, but that's it, but I love hearing about someone that is struggling have something really wonderful happen to them! The necklace is really unique and attractive!
Just slipped on my pink buddha that I was the lucky winner of here at PPT! And feeling a bit more in after reading this post! Such a talented group on the show, I'm betting even some of the ones voted off will be going on with their dreams.

All the singers are fun to watch this year – love all the different voices! A soft spot for Scotty, love the low Cash voice… We watch with the kids so I really like the kinder judges this year…

how awesome! thinking i might need to have a pink buddha in my life 🙂
this is terrific! I love that the designer is giving back – I think it's so important that we do. And James is definitely very talented. It's a great season for AI.
Yes, I am watching and I think this is one of my favorite seasons yet. James and is story is one of my favorites. One of my favorites was also the goofy guy with a raspy voice….until he started getting a bit full of himself and it turned me off him. So nice to meet you today!
I don't watch this show, but it all looks and sounds so great…maybe I should!
Love this year's competition…James is amazing, but got to go with Pia!!
I LOVE American Idol, as I sit here and watch it right now! And I love that necklace, especially since we have boys. ; ) Hope you had a fab. time (or are having) and fab. time in Dallas. I can't believe you didn't have a marg. on Tuesday. Such willpower my lady.
I haven't been watching Idol lately but I do love that he has overcome so many odds to get where he is. And great that he is wearing a JfaC necklace!
he's a fave in our house too!
James reminds me so much of Adam Lambert (I love Adam). Great necklace!
I am really loving AI this year too! I am rooting for the boys & Pia. James is one of my favs too. Thanks for the heads up re the jewelry…

I'm a huge idol fan, and he did great last night. Actually I thought it was his best performance. You are so right. This is the best competition yet. It's going to get very interesting!
