American Idol Results 03/19/08: The top 10


As expected, Wednesday night’s show was BORING. Simon said they made a mistake by doing the Beatles two weeks in a row. Well, duh! The Beatles may have been a great band 40 years ago but I suspect even Beatles fans thought their music was butchered last night. None of the contestants showed me a thing. It was a race to the bottom.
First named to the top 10 was Miss Sunshine, Brooke. Surprisingly, Carly, probably the second-best voice left in the competition, was the first named to the bottom three. Wonderkid David Archuleta was next to be added to the top 10, with rocker wannabe Michael right behind him.
Rocker David Cook was the fourth addition to the top 10. Country singer Kristy Lee , as expected, the second member of the bottom three. Jason, he of the strange facial expressions, made it into the top 10 as did my favorite, Ramiele.
Last week, they introduced this little interactive session where they take live calls from viewers. Sorry - that’s not why I watch Idol. What a waste of time!
Season 5 contestant Kellie Pickler performed her single, Red High Heels. I liked her better when she was just a country girl from North Carolina. This coiffed Kellie isn’t nearly as much fun to watch.
The last group of three consisted of rocker girl Amanda, crooner-or-country-singer Chikezie, and Whitney wannabe Syesha. Amanda made it an all-female bottom three.
Despite the efforts of Vote for the Worst, Amanda was voted off. I happen to disagree with America on this. Amanda has real talent and I doubt we’ve heard the last of her.
