  • American Idol Top Ten Results-Lisa Voted Off

       March 29, 2006

    I think Lisa is boring to watch, but she seems like a really sweet 16-year old. So, on one hand I was sad that she was voted off tonight, but, on the other hand, I'm happy I don't have to listen to her anymore. It's hard to watch a likeable person get ripped on and put through the ringer every week.

    As for the rest of the show tonight, Ace and Katharine joined Lisa in the bottom 3. Ace isn't a surprise since he sucks. Katharine is a good singer and she's beautiful, but there's nothing there to really grab people and make them into rabid fans. To paraphrase Simon, she simply doesn't have that elusive "it" factor.

    Next week's theme is country, so we're not going to get rid of Pickler anytime soon. And hopefully the remaining contestants will cut another cheesetastic single soon (anyone remember last year's Tsunami Tsingle?). I'd rather listen to a bad medley than a performance like tonight's duo of Shakira and Wyclef Jean. They're just not my cup of tea. Part of the fun of Idol is that the singers sing real songs, not stupid raps performed over a sampled beat.

    So long Lisabot. I wish she would have tapped into her professed love of rock music and stepped away from the Kelly, but she's young. She'll learn.

    I only wish they would have sent them all home.

    In her closing montage, Lisa says that she wouldn't change a thing. "How many people get to say they made the top 12 of American Idol?," she asks.

    I immediately thought "60, dumbass."

    But then it occured to me -- that's a trick question. The answer is 61, isn't it?

    It's trickier than that, since Season 1 didn't have a top 12-they had a top 10

    ooo, i guess.
    so it's
    10+12+12+(12+1)+12 = 59.

    actually, since there was only a top 10, the group of people that came closest to wining a spot in the top 10 could probably all reasonably say that they made the top 12 - how large was that group?

    The bottom three were the boring three. Maybe "least entertaining three" would be a better description. Expect to see the remaining nine start the showmanship in an effort to stay afloat. Next week will be country, but the week after that could be very phony and very funny.
