This should be an interesting week in terms of who gets booted off, because I felt that both nights had very strong performances and while there were some apparent individuals *Cough Sanjaya* *COUGH Antonella* that should have been booted last week, will their online fanbase continue to drive them on and make us suffer another week with a poor performance just so we can see the twinkle in their eyes again? I certainly hope not, but the way these things go, it's anybody's ball game. After the guys performed, "Television Without Pity" blog went on record that the disgust with the show was so much that he already named Sundance the American Idol 6 winner.
Ouch.
After a rather bland rendition of "Joy to the World"--what is the deal with these old songs? These are NOT middle aged men and women, and the fan base for American Idol probably had never even heard of this song. Good grief, what's next, "Inna Gada Da Vida"?
First person voted off....Nick Pedro. He is rightfully voted off, I picked him as one of the guys going home. I believe he just was drowned by the big personalities and uniqueness of all of the other guys. He's good, just not good enough.
And now for the girls...first gal going home...Alaina Alexander. My runner up pick (I still think it should have been Leslie and Antonella), Alaina probably should have gone home last week. She bawls through the encore performance, even after giving a snarky "clever" comment after they review what the judges said about her--nice poor sportsmanship. Now, please take your hanky and exit through the back door and don't forget to take your ego with you....
Kellie Pickler comes back and once again embarasses herself with her ditzy blonde act (didn't she really make a stink about how Idol made her look stupid??), but she again proves her country roots with her song "Carolina". I think it's safe to say that Pickler has "picked" to have some augmentation, don't you agree?
And now, onto the guys once again for the second to go home. And the loser is....AJ Tabaldo. What a crime--AJ had a great performance and Sanjaya totally blew. This is another travesty and yet again why the TWP disgust is totally warranted.
**WARNING...RANT AHEAD***
This is the reason why this show will run itself into the ground, because so many people who should continue down the path are sent home without disdain, and the pretty boys and girls are left behind to make our heads and ears hurt week after week. It started quite a long time ago, and until there is a more impartial system instead of this being a retarded homecoming king and queen high school event, the show will forever be watched for the simple shock factor rather than what it is supposed to be. Paula actually hit the nail on the head that this is a singing competition and tonight was not representative of this. I am appalled by our lack of sensibility
Now, we go onto the last girl going home. After Sanjaya getting another get out of jail free card, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Jordin. Of course, Antonella gets to go on--why wouldn't she? I mean, why not have her just come out naked for a half hour? Leslie Hunt goes home. Well, at least I got 2 of 4. But the 2 that are staying were the ones that DEFINITIVELY should have gone home.
I'm turning this off now.
But you know I'll be back. Just like a crack addict, I know this will continue to make me angry and piss me off, but I can't be without my Idol fix. Maybe some day I can be surprised by America making a good choice for one week...but it's not going to happen soon, in my opinion.
GOOSEY-OUT!!!!!
