American Idol last night

[SofaGeorge]

Something was SERIOUSLY amiss with that voting last night...How in the fuck does the BEST singer,hands down in the entire competition,who has NEVER had an off night,get placed in the bottom,and the one who doesn't even belong in that group be allowed to stay up there?What a crock of bullshit.Simon summed it up well.This is about who is the best SINGER,not about popularity.He asked people to bare that in mind when voting.

It was easy to figure the voting. Clay and Kim gave unfathomably brilliant performances... and Trenyce did her best ever. Hence, they siphoned the vote from Ruben. Ruben was brilliant... but he is ALWAYS brilliant. It doesn't stand out anymore. Clay and Kim are hit and miss... so when they hit a great performance they steal the show. Ruben... you just expect him to be great and take it for granted.

And Josh is now facing the double edged sword of his popularity. He is a boy band singer with good looks and some good talent. He can give Garth Brooks a run for his money on some country tunes... but he definitely isn't in league with teh others. Hence, his popularity is grossly over shadowing his talent. It's embarrassing for him.

What does he say? "Don't give me the winning slot. I don't deserve it."

Josh it going to try hard to step it up next week... and it will be his last performance... one way or another.

If he doesn't get cut next week... the backlash will end his career.

Did you catch the cuts of Josh the Marine. He was off to the corner and it looked like he was crying. The only interpretation I had was that he was actually humiliated that he wasn't in the bottom two. He knows he deserves to go.

I think he knew he should have gone. He knew it. And I am surprised that he wasn't in the bottom 2.
