American Idol Update

Scott MacIntyre, the blind pianist, was sent home last night. He was definitely the weakest singer left. As I predicted, Lil Rounds joined him in the bottom three. As I did NOT predict, Anoop Desai was sent there, too. It should have been Kris Allen. How long can the fact that a person is attractive keep them in the competition? Isn't this a talent show??? (Of course not; it's all about marketing.)

When Scott sang for his life (sang for the judges so that they might allow him to stay with their single override), he did a better job than he did Tuesday night. For one thing, he didn't have that discordant electric guitar. The judges had a hard time coming to a decision. Finally, Simon sent him home. I'm glad they saved their override; what if Allison gets stuck at the bottom again?
