'American Idol' - 'One of Six Eliminated' Recap

whoever wrote this article has no taste when it comes to music. Maybe he's part of the tweens that support worse idol contestants like that dude with bieber-do

I only watched the one show, top 26 pick and since then I've not watched at all. I will watch this Wednesday though and only because Lady GaGa is on/performing.
As soon as GaGa is done with her performance I am going to change the channel. I don't watch crap and the contestants this year are ALL just that. Lady GaGa is going to be the reason that A I's ratings are through the roof this Wednesday.

People keep ragging on her for the scream (which was getting old) but at the same time, whenever she didn't do it, the judges blasted her for it. I think that out of all the contestants, Siobhan had to be the most frustrated. The judges refused to give her helpful advice, instead flaming her for being unique and wanting to try different styles every week. I remember one week when she kept it low key and Kara basically gave her a WTF? with her comments. 'Without the scream I don't even know who you are anymore'

Oh I am SOOOO glad to see the back of Siobhan.

Its about time she left, as her only claim to fame is her scream. It became tiresome listening every week to songs picked solely for the inclusion of a strong note that could be morphed into a scream. Granted, the kid is young and like most youth, picked up on the attention she gained from doing something out of the ordinary. Unfortunately for her, despite the rare ability she has of managing to stay on key during a scream, it got old.
She really had a fighting chance if she'd have sought to be more original in her singing as she did with her person. Maybe next year Siobhan.

As far as Casey being in the bottom? Yes it was surprising, but considering there will be more and more cases in the coming few weeks of seeing strong contenders in the bottom , it shouldn't have been.

Aaron is a cute kid. He can sing ok. His real link right now though , is the Donny Osmond, MJ,Justin Timberlake etc , thing. Tweens need an idol that fits their hopes and dreams. It's difficult to consider a 12/13yo dreaming of dates with Mike,or Lee, though Casey's angelic features keep him a distant possibility for the youngsters.

I love Casey. I don't see him winning. He appeals to the cougar in all of us who were teens in the 70s. His voice is good. His song choice is good. But I don't see him winning.

Mamasox is all the female greats in the past rolled into one singer. Her style is already set, she is an original, and she is more than capable of getting a great contract prior to the end of the show. I don't see her finishing . I think it's possible she will last till the second to last show though. Not as many want to see her go. She's an original.

Lee seems to be the producer's choice. I think he can go far with the whole thing ,is malleable enough to have Idol create the image they want, and would do well with an Idol contract. Because lets face it, with Idol contracts it is a fifty-fifty chance of actually making something of ones self after the show.

America got it right, again. Aaron's next, then Big Mike, and then it will be Casey and Lee duking it out to see who joins Crystal in the final. As much as I'd prefer it to be Crystal and Casey in the final, I fear it will be Crystal and Lee. He's good and he's really cute, but Casey can sing (and play) circles around him.

The shell game elimination should be replaced by a tilt a whirl. Spin the singers around and when it stops and you're facing the camera, your ride is over, get out.

I'm not sad to see Siobhan go. I've said this from the beginning and it's still true, that I have no idea what kind of album Siobhan would make. I say that because she didn't choose songs that she changed to fit her style, she changed herself to fit the song (and adding a scream doesn't count as changing a song).

The biggest example of that was last night's "Any Man Of Mine" when she tried to add a country twang she doesn't have, instead of singing it in her own style.

And it's been completely frustrating to watch someone as unique as Siobhan, with such an amazing range, not showcase herself and what she wants her future album to be, on stage. I truly doubt she'll get a record contract for that simple fact, though I hope I'm wrong.

Siobhan has an amazing voice but she ruined it with the screaming...I thought the same about Lambert and he lasted until the end. Crystal should win, she is by far the most polished performer and it's not even close. But the mostly female voters may go for Lee or Casey.

One of the comments above says why is averone ragging on Aaron. The reason is he has no talent and to say he holds his own is not true. To call him a wedding singer is an insult to wedding singers everywhere. Why is he still there is beyond me but the kids obviously vote for one of thier own.

Let's just give the title to Crystal. She's going to win and no one will even come close. She's been consistently good all season.
