American Idol Update: First 2 Eliminations

There's a new rule on American Idol this year: the judges can veto one elimination, if they feel that a contestant has been eliminated unfairly and/or deserves a second chance. They can do this only once. I can see this has the potential for disaster. The judges have unexplained lusts for certain singers who should not have made it this far. What if America gets it right, and then the judges override it? Then we'd be stuck with another week of Megan Joy Corkrey...which we are, anyway, since apparently America got it wrong.

At least it was two of the weakest contenders who were eliminated. Jasmine Murray really should have waited a couple more years. I don't know whether she'll be allowed to re-audition now. And Jorge Nuñez was also eliminated. I really want to like him, but I have a lot of trouble listening to that syrupy old-fashioned style he favors.

So, there you have it. More American Idol coverage next week!
