I am beyond stunned at the voting in American Idol. Scott was in the top three? Unbelievable. Talk about proof that these things are subjective!!!
Constantine went home. I thought he would make at least the final four.
I’ve seen several favorites go home too early.
I’m shedding a tear with you, Robin! I just saw Constantine interviewed live on our local Fox station, and the boy’s a keeper. Very classy making unrehearsed comments. I seriously might stop watching the show now. Of the remaining contestants, I’m rooting for Vonzell, but I fear she might be next.
Then again, when I think about next Tuesday night, my palms start sweating a little. I doubt I can actually stop now… 😉
As a musician, I am frustrated by this sort of results. I personally don’t care for Constantine’s style, but Scott sang terribly (out of tune, weak, and uncontrolled vocally) Tuesday night and looked awful (uncomfortable and stiff), and Vonzell sang (and performed) incredibly well. When the results come in with him in the top three and her in the bottom, it feeds my long-standing suspicion that the producers of the show are somehow manipulating the results for ratings purposes or something. Or maybe it really is true that the average American (or perhaps just those voting on this show) simply can’t tell good singing from bad.
I figured he’d end up in the top three. Well, as long as Carrie is still shining those teeth at us, life can’t be all bad.
From Laura’s comments, I have to say — this is why I just can’t make myself watch this program. I grew up listening to (and loving) the greatest singers of our time and just can’t stomach listening to people singing off key AND being lauded for it. Pretty bad when you even have to cover your ears because it hurts (like chalk on chalkboard)… and the judges don’t appear to hear that. There’s nothing like a glorious voice and truly-gifted performer to move my heart. I think music is one of God’s greatest gifts — one I can’t live without. But I can’t help it– a discordant voice sets my teeth on edge.
Check out my blog today…there’s apparently a movement, among college students especially, to vote for Scott Savol *because* he’s the worst singer on the show! there’s even a website devoted to it.
I’m going to miss Constantine. He was always entertaining!
It was not to be believed. I thought Anthony and Scott should have been sent home before Antwar and Nadia. They both have no appeal. Nice enough to be in top 12, but COME ON. I wanted Vonzell, Carrie, Bo and Constantine to be in final four. I could watch those four for some time.
