Another one gone and another one gone…
Last night we witnessed two more contestants bite the dust on American Idol. I wanted it to be Julia and Kayko but American sent home Mia and Kayko. I kinda enjoyed watching the train wreck that Kayko turned out to be. So it’s bittersweet to see him go, like when the Alabama Crimson Tide get eliminated from the college football playoffs, now I have no one to cheer against.
I’m still a little ticked off that Ziggy and Julia Davo weren’t given a chance for America to vote. Am I holding this grudge a little too long? Probably. But it just really blows that performers like Kayko (and Blake, sorry I’m being rude again) made it into the top 24 when they were never, ever going to even have a chance of winning the show. And last night, this hurt a little, when Lionel said to Kayko: “If you keep fooling around here, my friend, you’re gonna win this thing.” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yet another case where the judges couldn’t have been more wrong. And what was with Katy trying so fervently to have some angelic nugget of abstract wisdom after every contestant? The judges try so hard to shape their comments in a positive way and I would guess it’s because they are thinking about their own careers. Kindness = keeping their fans. Honesty = losing fans/money.
Simon Cowell, if you’re reading this… come back! We need you now more than ever.
The best performance of the night goes to Just Sam who sang “One Moment In Time.” She gets it. You have to sing songs that people will remember. Come on, newbies! I hope Jack and McKenna read this and pick a great song for tonight’s round. My prediction is that eliminations will be dealt to Julia Gagnon and/or Will Moseley. If there’s a judge save, they’ll save Julia for some unbeknownst reason that we’ll never fully understand.
