‘American Idol’ 2010: Top 6 results
I found myself nearly as unmoved by Siobhan Magnus’ ejection from “American Idol” Wednesday night as she appeared to be.
Once a frontrunner and probably the boldest, most exciting competitor this season, the exotic glass-blower from Boston has in recent weeks become predictable and only surprising in failing to surprise.
Honestly, Siobhan had one of the prettiest voices this season, but the judges decreed her most touching performances “boring.” Unlike last year’s runner-up Adam Lambert, to whom she was frequently compared, she proved to have a deceptive lack of range, relying too often on Lambert-esque high-note screaming. And when Magnus tried to sing low, her voice became so husky that she sounded like Kathleen Turner on a Marlboro bender.
She didn’t seem to be surprised to find herself in the bottom three, even after the (largely undeserved) accolades the judges slathered on her Shania Twain week, pimp-spot performance. She actually seemed kind of ready to go.
So now she can and, with the money she’ll make from this summer’s “Idols Live” tour, perhaps she can finally replace those windshield specs she inherited from Harry Carey and currently shares with the Six Flags guy.
Finally, what was Casey James — coming off one of his best weeks ever — doing in the bottom three? Who do you predict will take the top spot? Sound off in the comments.
