4 more shown the door
She’s still there?!?
We’re beginning to think Antonella Barba is bulletproof.
Despite a nudie-pic scandal and two weeks of horrid, horrid performances, she’s survived yet another elimination round.
Another head-scratcher: Sanjaya Malakar is also staying put. One site suggests his new look might have played a role.
While Antonella and Sanjaya, by far the week’s worst singers, managed to buy some more time, four other “American Idol” hopefuls were shown the door Thursday night: Nick Pedro, A.J. Tabaldo, Alaina Alexander and Leslie Hunt. (For what it’s worth, we were right on two — A.J. and Alaina — of the four.)
Nick wasn’t half-bad. Not exactly a ringing endorsement, we know. His very vanilla personality likely did him in.
A.J. never impressed. Perhaps if he had spent a little more time honing his voice, and a little less time trying to perfect his “moves.”
Alaina is very, very talented. Any other season, she’d definitely have a shot at advancing, but this time around there are far too many talented women. Someone had to go and, unfortunately, it was her.
Perfectly sweet Leslie doomed herself by recycling a song so early in the competition. What was she thinking?
Both Texans — Haley Scarnato and Sundance Head — survived and will be back next week, when “Idol” slims down to an hour each night. Much, much more manageable. Bless you, Fox.
