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.

American Idol’s Strange Elimination Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial,
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.

Like many American Idol fans, I’ve unblinkingly watched every single second of Season Seven’s broadcast. I’ve coached, I’ve judged, I’ve criticized, and now I’ve been completely blindsided by the show. Anyone else feel that way?
Why bother watching hours and hours - and hours - of audition footage if only a handful of the top 24 are featured? What’s with the confusion of Hollywood Week, as I scramble to remember faces and names and scream “What ! How did he make it to the top 24? Why haven’t I ever seen him before at all?”
It’s no secret the judges and producers of Idol have their special favorites. On the flip side, they have contestants they can’t stand (remember Simon Cowell’s unabashed loathing of Sanjaya Malakar last year?). The massive amounts of air time devoted to some and the quick two-second glimpses of others aren’t an accident: it’s a not-so-subtle plot to influence votes, to get rid of the “extras” and keep only the ones producers want.
