Although it was St. Patrick’s Day, Irish eyes failed to smile on one contestant in Wednesday night’s results show. The remaining twelve competitors took on tunes from The Rolling Stones – not my favorite band – on Tuesday’s show, and some fared better than others.
Strange show opening: Simon took on Ryan over last night’s show. The exchange was rather terse, and it didn’t appear that Simon was kidding. It is things like this that make me think this is the final season for AI.
As I’ve said in previous seasons, they could eliminate the “entertainment” on these results shows and cut them down to half an hour. I could have really done without the performances, as they were quite boring. David Cook was screaming and the woman – no idea who she was – was downright bad. She played a nice guitar, though, even if she couldn’t sing a lick.
Then there was that woman who was in an Indian headdress, rapping with guys with TVs on their heads. Is this what passes for “entertainment” these days? Really?
As for the results: first named to the bottom three was Paige, who was suffering from a throat infection and pretty much lost her voice. She managed to sing, though not well, last night.
VFTW choice Tim was the second. This guy – who was a last minute replacement to the top 24 – is perfectly awful. With each passing performance, he’s gotten worse.
The last of the bottom three was Lacey.
Of the three, Tim was, by far, the worst. Unfortunately for those of us who actually prefer this singing competition to feature the best, it was not to be. Horrible Tim hangs around another week.
Also safe was Paige, leaving Lacey to sing for the judges one last time.
The judges’ save was first available tonight. It can only be used once a season. First introduced last year, it is designed to keep a contestant on the show when the voters make a mistake.
The judges – rightfully so, in my opinion – declined to exercise their save.
