‘American Idol’, I Am Furious With You. You Kicked Off The Wrong People Last Night!

Do you think the correct four contestants were given the boot last night?
American Idol, I usually love you. I dedicate three days of my week to you, in fact. So how could you play me like this, by kicking off two of my favorite contestants, Lilly Scott and Alex Lambert?
Despite her eccentric style and platinum-hued hair, Lilly Scott was always a quirky crowd favorite – and easily one of the best three female performers on Idol this season. My pals are furious – and from the dissatisfied rumblings in my part of the world (Los Angeles) many people are refusing to keep on watching now that she’s gone.
As for Alex Lambert, may I just say that his mullet had nothing to do with his talent? His performance of Ray LaMontagne’s “Trouble” this week – while stiff – was absolutely beautiful, and he showed a tremendous amount of improvement from prior weeks. He also had one of the best voices of all the boys – it’s shocking that the craptastic Tim Urban was allowed to stay in his place.
As for Todrick Hall and Katelyn Epperly – eh. They should have gone! Kateyln screwed with Carole King this week – and as a rule, that’s not a good look for anyone.
But who should have gone? Well, you know how I feel about Tim. Totally cute – but what a trainwreck! How the judges could praise his horrific version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is beyond me. And Lacey Brown? Well, that Minnie Mouse voice of hers just drives me mad. 12 more weeks of her? Please God, no! And last but not least, what the heck is Paige Miles still doing in the competition? I couldn’t even remember her name just now – had to look it up. She’s THAT forgettable.
All in all, America – please vote right from now on! That means VOTE for your favorites – don’t automatically assume they’re going to squeak through another week just because they’re good. This means YOU, oh fans of Crystal Bowersox and Siobhan Magnus. I’ll be voting from now on. Will you?
Do you think the right people got kicked off this week?

MULLEETTTT! He was one of my favorite people. I loved him so much. I yelled at the TV when they said he was leaving.

I can’t believe it either, I’m absolutely surprised that Lilly and Alex went home, especially since they were one of the few reasons I watched Idol, for their performances! I’m very upset with the fact that Paige is still there and even more upset that Tim is there. It’s just like Lilly said, what DOES america want?

Absolutely CAN and SHOULD be furious with TEEN IDOL…nothing but a bunch of D- karaoke judging performances pandering to Hannah Montana and her Justin Bieber friends. Since when are tweens the biggest music buying demographic anyway? Between the ridiculous back stories and the inflated grades given to juvenile (literally) performances, real artists don’t stand a chance. Simon’s phoned it in. Randy can’t handle anything tougher than a yes/no question from Ryan. A ‘great’move Ellen hugging a pathetic mullet-head for votes and Kara…..there’s not a single bit of authenticity in your Paula-wanna-be critiques. Poor Crystal….you’re too cool for Idol.

i know. but you can’t be mad at IDOL! it’s their f’ing audience! i swear it’s all teenage girls. talent and individuality, though demanded by the judges, is not relevant to a 12 year old girl. even though lilly came off a little bad for not just being gracious, she was 100% right- WHAT DOES AMERICA WANT?!?! to choose katie over lilly was just foolish. to choose that talentless eff tim urban, was foolish. i mean, he’s cute, but enough. i feel bad for him b/c everyone of the contestants must be so annoyed that he’s there. even he knows he doesn’t deserve to be. alex lambert… we hardly knew ye (as for todrick, good riddance… katelyn, same thing.) most saddened by alex b/c somehow i don’t see him knowing what to do with himself to get anywhere- and he’s got such a good voice. lilly. she’ll be alright. she knows who she is and won’t give up.

Tim, Katie, Paige, and Lacy will all be gone quickly in my opinion. I’m guilty of not voting so I can’t complain, but for the life of me I cannot figure out WHAT America sees in these contestants.

Paige is the WORST. She should be gone! Lilly will hopefully do just fine without Idol. America got it all wrong. Katie shouldn’t be there either. Ridiculous.

paige at least has a good voice, she just has no idea what to do with it and really can’t connect with a song. her voice really is good, i think. i haven’t enjoyed her singing b/c she can’t perform or connect or choose the right song. but, she can sing. tim… tim… he’s only there b/c of his hair. pity. for him and everyone else. if he makes it one more week, big mike is gonna knock him out.
