Four more contestants – two females and two males – were eliminated from Season 9 of American Idol. Slowly, we are getting to the better part of the season.
The first elimination was Katelyn. As I tweeted last night, I think she chose the right song – “I Feel the Earth Move” by Carole King. But part of the problem was her being behind the piano. She actually performed better tonight than she did Tuesday. She’s young enough, though, that she’ll be back.
Making it through was Vote for the Worst choice Paige. She’s really not the worst, though – that honor, in my opinion, goes to Lacey.
Todrick was eliminated next. This guy simply wasn’t good enough to be in the competition. I was surprised he made it this far.
Too bad Terrible Tim was the VFTW candidate because he should have gone home.
Instead, one of the best voices, Alex, was sent home. His rendition of “Trouble” was really, really touching.
The last one to be eliminated was Lilly, another really, really, really poor choice on the part of the voters.
This is going to be a really strange season.
Oh – and Ryan – please stop calling the females “girls.” It’s really disrespectful.
