Alexis Cohen is Dead-Hit and Run

It’s all fun and games until somebody puts an Idol out.

Alexis Cohen tried. She tried to sing. She tried to be brave. She tried to make light of sleeping on a couch in the studio apartment she shared with her mother. She tried to get revenge by hurling insults and fingers at Simon after being denied a spot in American Idol’s Season 7. When nothing else worked, Alexis Cohen even tried stand up comedy. But most of what she tried didn’t work out the way she planned.

Alexis Cohen is a frail little blond 25 year old who walked and talked like a trucker, probably because she thought that might be what it took for her to make it through. If nobody looks out for a kid they try to look out for themselves. Her manner rings false, her bravado hollow but her need to be loved shines like a candle.

Alexis Cohen makes me sad. Her tirades make me sad. Her struggle reminds me that most of all it’s the heart that matters.

It was a hit and run. Her body left along the roadside. Found by some passersby. Found too late. Never found much. Alexis Cohen is dead.
