We shed some “Idols” tonight, but sheesh, we’ve still got a ways to go, don’t we?
Can’t say I’m happy about all the banishments. But I’m so happy with one in particular that I can live with the other three. I guess I wasn’t the only “Idol” viewer who found Garrett Haley hard to watch because Ryan Seacrest did the country’s bidding quickly, giving the permy mullett man the ax before the opening credits had even finished.
“What IS that?” my 3-year-old asked.
Not sure, sweetie. Not sure.
I was, however, indifferent about Amy Davis. Though not offensive, she wasn’t so good, which she proved with a farewell performance of “Where the Boys Are” that was so off-tune, she seemed surprised by her own awfulness. Poor Amy. Christmas is over.
And I was certainly surprised to find myself sorry to see Colton Berry go. Though not a huge fan, I at least thought the little guy deserved a few more weeks of on-stage goofiness. There were definitely fellows who deserved to go before he did, maybe even Newtonian-of-a-year Chickeze. And Colton certainly didn’t deserve that awful dream-bashing speech Simon delivered as he stood helpless and crushed on stage. AWKward.
I ‘m most upset about the dismissal of Joanne Borgella. After a second run-through of her song, I realized she wasn’t all that good after all, but I liked her. Something about her face pleased me. But she’s gone, and a sniveling bunch of pre-teens who weep like they’ve just lost their grandmas are all we have left. Seriously, weren’t those teary on-stage dramatics a bit MUCH this early in the season?
I will leave you until next Tuesday to ponder this question. Was it my imagination, or was Paula’s video NOT THAT BAD??
Things that make you go, hmmmmm……

I think they were right on last night…can’t wait until next week.
OK–you were just voted off for being the worst of the bad, solet’s go ahead and torture you and the audience with an even worse rendition of what we voted you off for as you try to sing just after having your dream stomped on?
When is this craziness gonna stop? Or does Idol think it is so powerful a machine it can do whatever the hell it wants to no matter how much fans dread watching these people sing again.
There is some good talent left but it will take a few more deep cuts to get to the real goodies.
Being a Janis Joplin fan in my ‘youth’ I like Amanda but feel she is too much a one voice offering.
Donnie Osmond look alike is good but not great - he has such a good smile I hope he hangs around a while and who isn’t taken by the smile and voice of the youngest guy there. Jason with the over the top hair is a favorite also.
This is the worst bunch of hopefuls (with the exception of one) that I have ever witnessed on Idol. David Noreaga (sp) has gotta go - can’t stand him another week.
Amanda has gotta go - she does not have camera charisma. She’s too much of a rocker. Needs to broaden her horizens.
