Ousted American Idols Speak Out

They came, they sang, they got kicked out. It’s never easy to be eliminated from American Idol, but being sent home the very first week is the absolute worst. At least, for these early eliminations, the ousted contestants have some company. Recently, the first four to leave the stage shared their thoughts on being booted from the show.

First Four Idol Castoffs Fail to Inspire Tears

Call me cold-hearted, but I did experience an element of delighted, albeit mean-spirited, glee during Thursday night’s American Idol elimination show. With the exception of one contestant, I was singularly pleased with the results.  (America, so far you are choosing well.)  Again, with the exception of one. But Thursday nights on FOX are less about eliminations and more about shameless self-promotions, as the strange show proved.

First, props to the producers for listening to me. After I pointed out the disgraceful lack of style and fashion sense among the males, some kind stylist got ahold of them all and put them in perfectly matched black suits. Even their white button-ups were identical. This is what I’ve been saying - if the contestants can’t dress themselves, please someone do it for them. Before they take the stage next time, mmkay?

American Idol’s Strange Elimination Show

Before I begin, I have to admit I’m not a fan of American Idol‘s elimination nights.  Not only does the show drag out what could be done in two minutes (I really don’t need to see all the musical performances), I always feel extremely irritated by the incessant commercial breaks.

But, wow.  Thursday’s edition really had my head-shaking…and not in a good way.  I purposely came into the episode late because I wanted skip past the filler with my DVR.  Unfortunately, the strange pacing had me convinced I had fast-forwarded through something important.  Not only did the show lack any tension, it was sadly anti-climatic.  Watch the moment Garrett Haley was delivered his piece of bad news.  (Keep in mind - he was the first and only male called up at the time.)
