Idol Update 02/21 - First Cuts..

Let’s say goodbye to
AMY DAVIS



COTLON BERRY (YAH!!!)


GARRET HALEY


JOANNE BORGELLA

This should tell you what I think of the people gone, Colton I’m happy, Garret don’t care, Amy I don’t remember what she sang, and Joanne I don’t care. The top 24 really doesn’t eliminate anyone too important until you get to the last week prior to the top 24, so this is pretty much true to form.

As for the shows this week, it was a pretty lackluster week. I don’t think anyone hurt themselves too much because the general level was so average, that you could easily have a good week next week and move ahead of the pack. I think Brook, David A, Michael Johns and Ramiele all distinquished themselves and should easily cruise into the Top 12. Alaina too, mainly because of Simon’s endorsement which carries a ton of weight. Danny possibly for all the wrong reasons, he sucked, he had attitude, he was funny in the wrong way. Sigh…

I hate shows like this because there is such a malaise over them, the judges don’t care, the contestants are flat, everything is just flat. Combine that with the musical comeback of Paula Abdul and, well there is nothing left to say. Let’s hope for a better next week.

ITunes has the live performances on sale if anything moved your fancy. They MAY have the Studio versions up later, I see conflicting repots on that.

Update: I bought Ramiele's, I could not resist. (Thanks Cookie for the Itunes card!) It's good, it's basically the performance with the background noise weeded out.
