‘American Idol’ week six: Results
Nailed it.
If I were Crystal Bowersox or Siobhan Magnus, I’d start packing my bags, because America continues to vote off any “American Idol” contestant with a shred of originality or uniqueness of voice and those two are about the only hopefuls left who’ve got either.
And we get to watch grinning scarecrow Tim Urban and Stepford-contestant Katie Stevens warble for another week. Yay, America! Dare to be you!
If I were one of the four “Idol” judges, I’d be feeling pretty grim right about now (and can’t you just tell that Simon regrets his decision to stick it out through the rest of the season?). But I don’t feel sorry for them because they dug their own graves by choosing such poor contestants and then overhyping the strength of this year’s talent pool.
As for Wednesday’s guest performer, I’m not sure what caused more seizures: the strobe light (complete with prior crawl warning!) or Diddy’s overtly sexual gyrations with his female dancers, which had to produce convulsions among the parents of the tween viewers who keep sending Tim Urban through to the next round. The only thing missing was narration by Mary Hart.
What do you think? Did America send the right person home? Can’t we just send three or four home at a time? Will next week’s theme be “Wizard of Oz” songs, assuring Dorothy and the Scarecrow yet another reprieve?
Sound off!
