What’s your early “Idol” Top 12 wish list?
Goodbye John Park, Jermaine Sellers, Michelle Delamor and Haeley Vaughn.
Did America get it right this week?
Half right. Half wrong.
How has Tim Urban managed to survive the last two rounds? He’s not good, and he didn’t even make the original Top 24 (he was a last-minute substitution for an ineligible contestant). Let’s hope he doesn’t stick around undeservingly as long as Sanjaya did a few seasons back.
Urban was better this week than last, but compared to the other contestants — including the two guys who went home tonight — he’s not even in the same league.
John Park unfortunately made the mistake of choosing the wrong songs despite having a really nice voice. Jermaine Sellers clouded his natural talents with way too many vocal tricks the last two weeks. Jermaine, I’ll really miss your fun sense of fashion. And John, there’s always Shania.
As for the ladies, Michelle Delamor should not have went home over Lacey Brown. But ultimately, neither are Top 12 worthy, so what’s one more week in the great scheme of things? America got it right with Haeley Vaughn, but the good news is she’s young and will have plenty of opportunities to come. Her final performance was really sad to watch. Poor girl. Imagine going through that disappointment in such a public way at such a young age.
Now, on a happier note, it’s prediction time. Here’s my Top 12 wish list in no particular order:
- Crystal Bowersox
- Lilly Scott
- Katie Stevens
- Katelyn Epperly
- Paige Miles
- Siobhan Magnus (she’ll keep us guessing)
- Andrew Garcia
- Michael Lynche
- Lee Dewyse
- Aaron Kelly
- Casey James
- Alex Lambert
I wish it didn’t have to be an even amount of boys and girls. I’d take Didi Benami over Alex “not Adam” Lambert any day.
