"American Idol": Sway Away!

brenna.jpg


Thank you, Idol viewers! Thank you of giving the bootinski to three of my four suggested Boot Camp eliminations this week: boring Heather Cox, David "Crooney Crooney Cocoa Pops" Radford and Brenna the distasteful diva. Thank you for not making me continually submit them to the
virtual chopping block, like Scott Savol, only to have you kick off more deserving little singerlings.

Thank you, most importantly, for not making me look like a know-nothing moron. Good on ya.

Of course, you chose to also bid goodbye to soulful little Sway, and to spare Will "Seth Cohen" Makar. That's OK, though. Sway was gonna go eventually anyway. And Brenna is gone, something I wanted so bad that I would have willingly given up my beloved Joe Cocker Boy to accomplish it.

Almost.

What was up with Paula last night? She needs the boot big time. I am sick to death of her smacking Simon and i loved it when he told her he was sick of her and that she was annoying - YA THINK? She needs rehab bad. I hink america should vote on the judges.

Is there any way to boot Paula?? These kids were about to be booted off the biggest event that's ever happened to them, and she's giggling and acting like she may be 'self medicating...' She could have cared less what was happening on the show - she seemed to be in her own little world and very inappropriate. It's sad, but the show has 3 judges, and I really only care what Simon says.

What happen to Sway? We are hoping he would still be in for next week finals. We think that Kevin should be the one eliminated. Regarding vocals, Sway is much better than him. America like him because they think his cute. But isn't it supposed to be american idol is about singing. Not being cute. Maybe american idol should be change to cute idol then. Because we think Sway is better than Kevin. But of course American voters sometimes are blind.

Gray guy has to go. I can't bear to hear him say Wooo, one more time

I think it was a week or two too early for Sway too leave the competition. He made two poor song choices, but you could really see he had some good vocal potential behind him while singing for the last time; which is more than I can say for some of the people still staying. Sway will still succeed without being able to progress further into AI. He has a bunch of contracts just waiting for him on the West Coast and potentially overseas. Maybe that's why he seemed a bit relieved after having just been eliminated. It was the end of one journey, but just the beginning of another journey for his singing career.

Hey Taylor!,

I don't know if you have heard any Ray Lamontagne, but I think his music would be perfect for you. Check it out, I can see you really winning the fans over with "Trouble" , by Ray Lamontagne. You are my favorite singer in the competition, I like your style. Keep up the good work !

Paula and Simon both looked like they were toking up before the show. What the heck is up with those two? I couldn't tell whether they were drunk or high, but they definily were disrespectful towards the contestants that were voted off. Anyhow, I think America got it right on their votes this week. The four who left are the four I predicted would be gone.

TAYLOR HIX ROCKS! and whoever it was that said he needs to go obviously has no taste in music what so ever! "Gray guy has to go. I can't bear to hear him say Wooo, one more time" uh yeah dude he has a name not gray dude shows how well you really pay attention! some people are idiots and i do agree that paula is mean like when she laughs at the contestants for the audition when they sing like crap but i do like paula she has good taste in music. and i dont blame her for hitting simon sometimes he needs a good smack he is a JERK but there are sometimes when he can be really nice, calling a lady fat is SO mean when he starts doing crap like that thats when he needs a good SMACK right across the face, and i think paula is just the women to do it! SHe isnt going to take crap from simon and she shouldnt have to either!

Can any of the contestants who've been booted ever come back on the show?

I think taylor is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hes got the moves and the voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus everyone loves him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taylor is the very best. I just wish that he would rewind the tapes of the shows that he did that got him to this point and try to recreate all those songs and moves .... but especially the heart with which he sang. I think all these stylists they have taking care of them is spoiling his spirit. He aslo sould of left his hair long, just the way it was when he first started.
