‘American Idol’ says Bye bye Brandon
The schmucky group number at the beginning consisted of Diana Ross numbers of course. I find it interesting to watch the contestants perform in a more relaxed setting. Yes, they are still in a huge room with lots of screaming fans with millions of viewers…yes, a more relaxed setting.
LaKisha is the first one to be safe…then Gina…then it’s Brandon’s turn. He’s in the bottom three which is not a surprise. Jordin is safe…then Chris Richardson…then Melinda…Phil is in the bottom three (not a surprise either). Chris Sligh is safe…Stephanie is okay as well…Blake of course is safe…oh no a well placed tension building commercial.
Now I find this very interesting. According to DialIdol.com Sanjaya got the third most calls last night, after Melinda and LaKisha. He may actually stick around a while longer. In case you’re not familiar with DialIdol.com they measure the busy signal to predict who will be voted off. Last season they were 87% accurate.
Diana Ross, Billboard magazine’s Entertainer of the Century, performs More Today than Yesterday, from her new CD. She still knows how to make an entrance doesn’t she? I wonder how much plastic surgery she’s had to maintain that body or maybe she is just a fitness nut. If the judges were rating her performance they would say she was pitchy and sounded like she was shouting on the higher notes. But I guess when you’re Diana Ross you can sing any way you want.
It’s down to Sanjaya and Haley…Sanjaya joins the bottom three. All men in the bottom three. Hmmmm, is this a big surprise to anyone?
After nearly 28,000,000 votes, Brandon goes home. I know he wasn’t awesome last night but he’s so much better than the other kid! So are all you viewers voting?
We said on our poll that we wanted Sanjaya gone. Oh well, I guess we see.
American Idol ran late and now that they have moved a sitcom after them there is no more going over their time so before we heard all the last minute stuff from Ryan, boom, they were gone. Can’t wait until next week!!!!

I like Sanjaya in a “little brother/feel sorry for” type of way, but he just isn’t good enough for this competition. Not that Brandon was either, and at this point I don’t care who goes as long as it’s not my top 6 favorites. But come on, Brandon is a better singer than Sanjaya, even if he was a little boring. I think America just likes to vote for the underdog. I know I did last season with Chicken Little!

Although it wasn’t surprising that Sanjaya managed to stick around, I was still thoroughly ticked off. No, Brandon didn’t have a great night - but, c’mon people! I guess votefortheworst.com has a lot more power than I gave them credit for!
