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.

What the heck did Kelly Pickler do to herself? She looked so trashy and all tarted up that I barely recognized her. Whatta shame! Did her bust get enormous or what that some trick bra?

He says “him”. There is no doubt. The vowel usage between “him” & “whom” is quite distinct.
