Ok, so I am a little behind in my blogging. I apologize to those readers who have been asking where my blog was for this week. Here is the long and short of what my thoughts were about this week...
I predicted Lil and Scott to be the top vote getters. I figured 3rd place would be Ju'Not or Jorge. I think these 4 contestants have been and were shamelessly pimped by the judges. They practically have shoved Scott down our throats despite the fact that he is not at all a strong enough singer to be in this competition. Along with this pimping, his backstory made him a shoo-in from day 1 to make the final 12. BLEH!
Yes, Lil Rounds is a good singer, but I do not think she is AMAZING as the judges have pushed us to believe. The more I see her, the less impressed I am. I don't think she has that special something to be the next idol...there is a lacking of originality I guess. She has been promoted since the beginning and then was put in a group almost all the other females were bland; except Felicia! Honestly, I felt Felicia Barton was the stand out this week, but she did not make it through AND the judges did not give her another shot for Wild Card...SUCKY!!
Jorge is almost as gimmicky as Tatianna, sorry to say people. I mean, yes he technically has a nice voice; but what is up with the weird scrunchy facial expressions. Yikes. Then, the judges pressed and pressed and gave him some great, emotional airtime in order to convince America to put him through. Let's be honest, had he been in any other group he would not have made it through to the Final 12. Contestant placement is EVERYTHING on this show.
So, alas we have 3 more voted in and now it is up to the judges. I am not shocked at all about some of their choices for wild card...not even by Tatianna. Come on, one last chance to milk her drama for all it is worth! Let's hope they don't continue this into the Final 12! I was saying names of the choices before the judges even announced them...that's how predictable this was. Again, very disappointed not to see Felicia get a second shot with the wild card. But still happy with some of their picks.
Of the Wild Card choices I am rooting for Matt, Ricky and Megan to make it to the Final 12. However, this is the judges chance to even out the gender ratios. America has clearly spoken and said that the male talent this year FAR outshines the females (6 out of 9 voted through are males). So, will the judges pick based on gender or talent? Let's hope they let talent be the deciding factor and realize that we do not HAVE to have an even number of male and female contestants. Predictable choices the judges could make tonight would be Jasmine Murray (bleh), Anoop Desai (bleh) or Tatianna Del Torro (pure entertainment). I hope my faves are the ones the judges pick! We will see what the judges decide tonight!
