O/T: Member of the SGC Family on American Idol!
 

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to Leon for allowing this O/T post.

As some of you may know, the son of Derek Grady, SGC's Director of Grading, is a contestant on this season's American Idol. Last week, it was announced that his son, Tyler Grady, was selected as one of the top 24 semi-finalists.

Starting this week, Tyler will perform live on FOX in pursuit of becoming the next American Idol. It is very exciting for Derek and the rest of us at SGC to see Tyler succeeding on such a large, international stage. He will, however, need support to carry him through. If you, or someone you know, is one the 30 million people who watch the show, please consider voting for and spreading the word about Tyler.

You can follow his progress on the American Idol site or by joining the two main fan pages on Facebook dedicated to his run on the show.

I wish Derek's son all the best, but if my own daughter were on I'd have a hard time watching that trash TV.

Ed,
 

Ellen D is on there wearing her trademark suit with tennis shoes. It is kind of funny. Tune in.

Hey,

Congrats to Derek (and Tyler of course)! Very cool kid - I have been watching, and I like his old-school rocker vibe. Hope he goes far.

Cheers,
Blair
