I know some people really hated the sing offs and at some points I did but overall I think it was a good mix up on American Idol's part. However most of the people that were in sing offs I didn't really care if either made it except Matt Breitzke (construction worker) and Michael Sarver (Oil rig guy). I really liked both these guys and am glad they both made it...if I had been keeping count I would have known at the end that they both made it. There were definitely some hits and misses last night....MOST of my early favorites made it to the top 36 the only two that I liked at the beginning that didn't make it are Jamar and Frankie. I thought both of them deserved to make it over several that they put through, however when Frankie made her comments about "are there really 8 girls that are better than me?" It made her sound really cocky and I hate to break it to Frankie but there are eighteen girls better....I should probably watch that back, maybe that is what she said...Anyways overall there aren't many that I really thought should make it that didn't HOWEVER there are several that did make it that I really thought SHOULD NOT: Kristen McNamara, Kendall Beard (I believe she definitely made it on looks), Von Smith, and of course TATIANA del TORO....I have no idea what the judges were thinking putting her through she is probably the most annoying person to ever be on American Idol. Maybe the producers think Tatiana adds drama but I believe and HOPE she will be gone after next week. If Tatiana is still around after next week I think it will back fire on Idol and more people will tune out than tune in...ESPECIALLY if she gets on "VOTE FOR THE WORST" it will be bad!!!!
Now lets talk about next week, I am very sad!!! I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I am not happy with AI going back to the old way of voting for the top 12, and after looking at the first group I am extremely unhappy!!!
Group 1:
Michael Sarver
Anne Marie Boskovich
Tatiana del Toro
Jackie Tohn
Stephen Fowler
Brent Keith
Ricky Braddy
Danny Gokey
Alexis Grace
Stevie Wright
Casey Carlson
Anoop Desai
I really like 4 people in this group: Michael Sarver, Alexis Grace, Anoop Desai and my favorite Danny Gokey! There are others in this group that I think should make it passed next week over others.... I don't know what was wrong with splitting up the guys and girls and eliminating two each week...that way the bottom people get cut each week!!! I don't like cutting 8 each week! That is hard...it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. The first group is 12 which seems to mean that there will be three groups of 12... The following is the only explanation I found as to how the top 12 will be picked (maybe 3 from each group and then 3 wild cards???). I am nervous!
"A bigger semi-final round. Instead of having the top 24 contestants, the show will instead showcase the top 36 contestants, if only to focus further on the better singers this year. Also, the wild card round will return, which means singers eliminated from this round still have a chance to make it to the top 12. As Fox executives pointed out, it's to add a bit of unpredictability."
UPDATE UPDATE:
I read the following on Buddy TV today:
As this article was published, Fox released a statement confirming that Felicia Barton is, indeed, part of American Idol's top 36. "It has been determined that Joanna Pacitti is ineligible to continue in the competition," it said. Sources have told the Los Angeles Times that the decision was made to "avoid the appearance of impropriety"; tabloids have reported of a private relationship between Pacitti and executives of 19 Entertainment.
What do you think about the top 36?? Did your favorite get eliminated last night?
Desperate Housewives:
Edie Britt is leaving Wisteria Lane. Nicolette Sheridan's reps said she had a great time on the show and is excited about future projects. Her last episode will air in April but the season finale is not until May. No word yet on how she will be exiting the show.Lost:
Lost has a lot of stuff going on right now and some story lines I love and can't wait until they play out but overall I am ready for the 6 to go back to the Island and I hope it doesn't take several more episodes for us to see it play out. The previews for next week look like they will start the adventure back so will we see them on the Island next week??? Probably not but I sure hope so. Also I was so excited that Locke finally turned the "wheel" to get off the Island...I am ready for that part to play out. I am so looking forward to the Sun/Jin reunion and the Sawyer/Kate reunion. I know that the Sun/Jin reunion won't happen for a while so I am trying not to get to anxious but it is hard. Check out my friend Mary's blog for a detailed review of Lost episodes:
