Another year, another letdown. Two years ago it was Sabrina (yes, I am still hurt and bitter about her premature exit and I refuse to get over it). Last year it was Asia’h and Alexandrea. This year, it’s Jamar. Really? Are there really 36 singers better than him? Nick/Norman? Seriously?
Tatiana? OK, I’ll admit it – she makes me laugh. At least this year I am entertained by the annoying person, as opposed to Danny Noriega or the Still Unspeakable One. But I have REAL problem that Jamar is not still in the competition.
As long as I am on problems, I really hated the way that the producers had friends compete against each other in the sing-offs – that seemed unnecessary and cruel. And I hated that both a winner and a loser had to face everybody in the waiting room at the same time. What should be a giant moment of elation for the winner becomes bittersweet, instead. In general, I am glad the pre-voting part of the show is over and we can get on with reality rather than the producers idea of drama which was more like emotional manipulation.
OK, now on to the singers. The stars mean nothing other than the way I highlighted people I liked as I saw them:
4 stars – Danny Gokey
2 stars – Alexis with the really cute, purple-highlighted hair and young daughter; I REALLY like her
2 stars Allison – the 16 year old with the “raw, natural talent”
1 star – Lil Rounds, a “good old fashioned singer” according to Simon
1 star - Steven Fowler, the guy who walked off the stage in
Others of note:
Adam Lambert now to known as Emo-Chic, bestowed on him by my daughter Cassandra
Jasmine Murray
Joanne Pacitti – I think she can sing and I just really like a lot her for some reason that I can’t put my finger on
Kai Kalama - wild hair, good looking guy
Taylor Vaifanua – didn’t see her until tonight, seems like she can sing

I AM SO ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!! I agree about Jamar, but more angry that they let drama queen Tatiana through. So many of the people I thought were guaranteed to go in did not make it, what's the deal w/ Scott McIntyre..and Nathanial.... I do not think they were great enough to make it through...this is a singing competition for pete's sake! I'm extremely bitter..uggh.
With you all the way, Gina.
Bottomline for me: when Jamar is gone, Norman stays, Tatiana stays??? then I am reduced to no longer blaming the contestants but the judges. There's something wrong here.
I am a licensed psychotherapist. When you allow Tatiana to think she deserves to remain, you are really enabling a sick person to remain so. Judges, join her in the padded cell.
Like you, Gina and Your Mom, I am mad that Jamar was not considered top 36. Basically every person they put through after him was not as good. Very frustrating! I don't understand it. AND keeping Tatiana - there is some car-crash-can't-help-looking element there but I hate that it feeds her delusional self. Augh@!
