Well on American Idol we are down to the final ten, which in Idol terms is apparently important because these ten are the ones who ‘go on tour.’ Whatever that means… And so what I was reminded of as I sped through the results episode, was how in this reality show America votes, which could result in anything. And how sometimes, as my dear friend Paula puts it, sometimes America gets it wrong.
So kicked off this week was rocker chick Amanda Overmeyer who joined previous week’s loser David Hernandez. And while Amanda wasn’t going to ever win the whole thing, there are a few kids who I think should be kicked off before her, namely runner up loser Kristy Lee Cook. David Hernandez leaving wasn’t going to get an argument from anyone, except maybe his family. Though I wonder if anyone cared about his whole revealed stripper past.
But while I may not agree with the order that the kids get the heave ho, most of these kids are going and it’s just a matter of which week. The big surprise was that this week’s second runner up loser was Carly Smithson. And while she was an early favorite of mine, there is something I don’t love about her persona. But seriously she is one of the way better singers and although Simon slammed her song choice last week, along with possibly every other person’s song choice, no one is arguing about her talent.
Who will be eliminated next week and will I actually care?
