Stupefied

Why, American Idol, why?? Lilly Freaking Scott?! Are you kidding me???

So, all day I've been sitting here reading blog entry after blog entry of people who have lost their shit over the early dismissal of Lilly Scott from AI. I have to admit that I too am among the shit-losers. It's mind-boggling. Not only was she a great singer, I think she really had a shot of winning the whole show.

Instead, we're left with Paige and Katie? I mean, I like Katie, but she's been luke-warm at best the last few weeks. And Paige?! I honestly can't remember a single performance of hers that even approached mediocre. (Sorry, I forgot I was in Nebraska - it's pronounced Me-Dee-Oh-Ker.)

I've heard all kinds of reasons why Lilly was booted. Most suggested that it was because the 13 year old girls who do the majority of voting are capable of something called mega-voting (literally thousands of votes). Apparently, there is no apparatus that limits the number of votes from a particular cell-phone number.

I've also heard that Lilly and BowerSox split their votes with the majority going to Crystal. That's possible I guess.

In the end, we'll probably never know. For myself, I really liked her style of music and would probably download a tune or two given the opportunity. But, to be perfectly honest, as long as my girl Siobhan is still on the show, I'll continue to watch. For my money, she's the best of the bunch.

I'll continue to read the blogs for the next couple of days - I'm hoping Simon Cowell will have something to say... Cheerio.

For the most part America doesn't know what they like. I, personally, like Crystal. She reminds me of a Susan Tedeschi in the making. Paige was absolutely horrid! She was the one that needed to hit the road last night.

Love ya old man.

I'm kind of disappointed with AI this season. I really can't see anyone left on the show being the next Kris Allen, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, or David Cook. In the past years I have been a pretty big AI fan, but... this year just isn't doing it for me. They all sound the same now. A few are okay, but nothing exceptional.

Dido. I can't believe she's gone! She's amazing and has a different sound, this is what America needs...with the 13 year-olds gig, the same will go down with Tim. He looks like he came straight out of my high school and girls will vote till their fingers bleed to keep him in. I don't know how he got this far, but he better be going home soon or this show will be history for me.

I don't think Katie Stevens deserves to be up there, but since they don't limit voting it's possible her entire school will help her to win. =P Boo. Lilly definitely didn't deserve to go out! But, agreed, Siobhan is amazing. Her and Big Mike are my two faves.

Hey, guess what. You don't know anything about talent or music. Guess what else. American Idol sucks. You're all retards.

I have to agree with this.

At some point quite a number of people will suffer from the medical condition sometimes referred to as ringing ears concert.

Ah! Yes, AI! Lilly Scott was a GREAT singer but after she got voted off everyone, I thought, got better. As the weeks went on, Katie got better. She was my favorite. And Aaron Kelley is still on and he's great, too!
