So it was Carly Smithson and Syesha Mercado at the bottom two Wednesday night. Odd. These two got the judges' nod, and Simon even "loved" Carly that week. Jason Castro made it to the top four even if his performance was forced and did not wow the judges. Syesha Mercado on the other hand was so good and comfortable doing broadway, which was the theme of the night.
So what's happening with American Idol? Well, at this point in time, it is not in the performance nor in the judges. It's in the fans who are voting.
Brooke White who was supposed to have the poorest performance among the women competitors (she forgot the lyrics!), is still standing. And strong. Her vulnerability and down-to-earth-ness is really making her survive. Brooke is not broken because she is the real deal.
People make mistakes and we are not all perfect and we forgive Brooke for being one of us. The thing is, she admitted that she "lost the lyric." What is even more real than that?
About TVmomma:
I created this blog a few years back when I used to watch television 14 hours a day. I was getting highly-opinionated with what I see on TV and I wanted to spare my husband from my rantings so I thought of blogging about them instead.
I have called TV as my amusement park -- right in my own home. But now, things have changed and my TV viewing has been limited. I still post on this blog but only when I felt so strongly about what I've seen, and when I have the time.
For reprint and for anything else, please leave a message on the comment area. Thank you.
