Things are getting tricky on American Idol. It’s always a little crazy when there are fewer and fewer contestants left and tonight we’ll hear the top 10 sing as they are mentored by Shania Twain. Allegedly, two will be eliminated and I have fun guessing who those folks will be. The second half of last week’s two-episode eliminations was not just a little boring. It was good ol’ fashioned snooze fest. Here’s a recap that’s more entertaining and a lot shorter.
I can’t even remember which songs Jack Blocker or McKenna Faith did and they’re my top 2! It was rough. You know it’s bad when the only reason the show had any entertainment value was how bad a performance was. That award was shared last week… Roman, who did a very underwhelming rendition of Katy Perry’s “Roar” and Kayko who had an eye-opening take on “Somebody That I Used To Know.” The kind of eye-opening where all you can do is stare in disbelief and wonder: Where did we go wrong?
Hopefully tonight they’ll correct the song choice mistakes (and maybe a mentor mistake? Although I don’t know how much Meghan Trainor had to do with the song choices or the final deliveries). So let’s get to tonight’s eliminations. If I had my druthers, I’d eliminate Kayko and Julia. One is just too much like a bad actor playing the part of a singer and the other is a good singer but so far, really boring. I’ll let you sort out who’s who. But I’ll try to be fair in my picks. Here are the top 10 and in *bold are who I think will be eliminated based on a little bit of research.
