Remielle out; 8 Left

Last night ended Remielle Malubay's saga as an American Idol contestant. She is really a great talent and in my ealier post I even wrote that she got a chance at top five. But week after week, she failed to impress the judges with poor song choices.

I call Remielle a one song wonder. On the first show on stage of American Idol Season 7, she sang "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," wowing all three judges. Even Simon said she outsang everyone. After that, nothing she sang made a difference. I think it's really time for her to go. It could have been earlier.

It was her first time to be at the bottom three and too bad, she really was at the bottom. It was, again, a stroke of luck for Kristy Lee Cook who has been at the bottom three for five times but fortunate enough to be second to the last. She is a survivor.

Syesha Mercado was not at the bottom three last night although she had been twice. It just proves that previous performances do not have an effect on votes. It could be anyone any week.

My other favorite, Brooke White is still in the competition. Good for her. I hope she makes it to the very top.

Dolly Parton was phenomenal. She sang "Jesus and Gravity," her new song from her latest album. Dolly was bursting with energy, good spirits, and love.

I had this vision of death in one of the remaining American Idol contestants before the final show.
