Bring on the Final 12 - uh, 13!!!!!

In spite of his horrible song choice and dreadful performance, I was so happy to see Anoop-Dog go in as the 13th Idolist. Which is also why I can’t give the judges a hard time about their selections since they apparently didn’t have vocal quality on their minds. If they did, Jesse (Tell Me Something Good) and Ricky (Superstition) would have been in the finals, as to these ears, they were the best performances of the evening. But we know the show is as much about casting as it is about singing – otherwise how could we have possibly been subjected to the Unspeakable One?


So we get pretty and precocious Jasmine – who I am finally realizing isn’t that good; pretty Simon-Gushing Megan, who may actually be good but isn’t nearly as good as Simon thinks; and Matt who did Terence Trent D'Arby's (anybody remember him?) version of a Michael Jackson song and reminded me of neither. And, of course, Anoop-Dog. At least we have seen the last of Tatiana!


One prediction - when Kelly Clarkson is on next week, she'll do the song on her new CD that Kara co-wrote.


OK, so now the REAL fun begins. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!

I voice no complaints since the T. one is gone. THAT makes up for all else.
Am SO glad that Anoop is "in".
With the T. one gone, I can once more look forward to the "sing-off".
I do admit, though, if the singers were heard but not seen, the T. one would still be in. I am a bit suspicious of the continued singing of one song, though. Is that the one learned and rehearsed until nailed it down? Still, one has to have pipes even to do that, though.
ps. Four judges are still too many, particularly when little judging is done anyway.
THERE WAS NO JUDGING LAST NIGHT. DONE DEAL BEFORE AIRTIME.
