An “American Idol” injustice?
Oh, “American Idol” voters, why, oh why didn’t you send Tim Urban home?
I had such high hopes that justice would be served tonight when we learned the bottom three included Urban, Paige Miles and Lacey Brown.
But in the end, it was Lacey Brown who didn’t make the cut this week. Granted Lacey certainly wasn’t going to make it to the top against Crystal Bowersox, Siobhan Magnus and Didi Benami, she certainly deserved to stick around longer than Urban.
Tim Urban’s performance last night of the Rolling Stones’ “Under My Thumb” with a reggae twist was a total joke (although it was a notch above Ke$ha’s performance of “Blah, Blah, Blah” during tonight’s results show). That combined with the fact he’s been inconsistent from the beginning and didn’t even make the original Top 24.
Poor Lacey. The judges opted not to use their one save of the season on Lacey after her performance of Brandi Carlile’s “The Story,” one of her better performances in the competition.
The judges’ save is back for a second season and can be used between now and when the Top 5 contestants remain, but it must be unanimous. Last season, the judges saved Matt Giraud from elimination two weeks before the save was to run out. He ultimately finished fifth. Note, that after the judges used the save, they had to eliminate two contestants the following week.
Did you agree with tonight’s results?
