I’m not referring to the show losing viewers or voters, but last night “American Idol” lost the sexy legs of Haley Scarnato. Before we get to the results, I’m going to bore you with an hour of crap the way Fox did….
First, there was a horrid Latin group performance of an Enrique Iglesias song that I won’t even attempt to spell. Sanjaya even screwed up the words which was pretty awesome.
Then, Ryan Seacrest interviewed a bunch of the shows’ fans outside a farmer’s market. Wow, they are really stretching, aren’t they?
Then there was a performance from Akon, who must have heard everyone wondering aloud why he was on the same stage as Gwen Stefani a few weeks ago. Turns out dude CAN sing. He wasn’t too bad, and it was fun to watch his DJ guy with the Sanjaya hair style.
Then they showed footage of Simon Cowell in Africa again, and in one of the funniest moments the show has ever seen, some African kid drew a picture of Simon with man boobs. Now, THAT is good television.
Then they did some spoof with Tony Bennett where the judges treated the old man like a real contestant. That was pretty dumb and self-indulgent for the AI producers.
Finally, each contestant was asked to stand as Ryan announced who was in the bottom 3. Phil Stacey was the first into the lower tier, then Lakisha, Jordin and Melinda were all declared safe. Haley was also sent to the bottom 3, leaving Blake, Sanjaya and Chris. Blake and Sanjaya were safe, leaving Chris to enter the bottom 3 and America to wonder just how long it has to endure Sanjaya. Top 4? Top 3? Top 2? Gasp.
Then Jennifer Lopez sang some song in Spanish that I have never heard, but she looked and sounded awesome as usual. But before that, Chris Richardson was sent back to the pack, leaving Phil and Haley. No surprises so far, right?
Finally, it came down to the verdict, and it was Phil that was safe. Dude seemed as surprised as anyone in the theater. So it was Haley and her legs, which were hidden tonight but covered in painted-on pants. But it was her time to go home, and America definitely got it right. Next week it will likely be Phil, and then it’s going to get real interesting.
Till next week…..
