Oh, American Idol
The drama continues.
I will admit that I have not been watching American Idol all too closely this year, but these past few weeks have proven to be interesting.
With Brooke White gone, the season is now down to three guys and one girl. Many people believe that this is because the majority of American Idol viewers are girls/women. That being said, the girls vote for the guys! Of course, it didn’t help that Brooke sang a pretty bad version of “I’m A Believer” in the first round, but still, the guys definitely seem to have an “ups” in this competition. Syesha’s going to have to work hard to pull through this! Even David Archuleta, loved by the younger girls and soccer moms (no offense!!), may need some help this next week as it is “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” He’s not exactly a rock singer, but hey, maybe he’ll pull through!
However, here’s the biggest news that I thought was interesting. If you haven’t heard about Paula’s slip, I’ll give you a little update. On Tuesday, the judges were to hold their comments until after the second round of songs, but after the first round was over, the judges said some quick comments. While she was reading off of her notes, Paula completely messed up and criticized Jason for BOTH of his songs. Jason was criticized for something that he hadn’t sung!
This kind of gives the notion that this whole contest is already set. Some conspiratists believe that this is why Idol never reveals the actual voting totals. Do the judges and producers already know who the winner is going to be? Hopefully this isn’t the case and people’s votes actually mean something, but you never know!
Next week’s competition should be interesting!
