American Idol: And Then There Were STILL 7

So the judges finally used a save. I’d like to say I’m happy for dueling piano player Matt Giraud, but mostly I’m still bummed that Scott MacIntyre isn’t in the competition. Last night’s performances of songs from movies were the least interesting load of waste I’ve ever seen in one night of Idol.

Maybe I’m just bitter, but these characters aren’t as compelling as the best from the past couple of years. Mostly though, Scott brought such a different dimension than anyone has ever seen before, it’s not surprising that this week’s show actually led to a decrease in national voters.

So next week two people are going home.  You can throw Anoop and Lil into the bottom because they don’t stand a chance.  Adam seems solid, Kris and Danny are consistently decent, and the rest are just biding their time unless something changes.

As for the programming critique, it’s nice to see and hear the contestants actually singing during the ensemble performance. 

Of all the music that’s ever appeared in movies, the selected cuts were terrible.

Quentin Tarantino is scary looking.

Here’s how the field stacks up.

7) Lil Rounds (more annoying every week)

6) Anoop Desai

5) Alison Iraheta

4) Matt Giraud

3) Kris Allen

2) Danny Gokey

1) Adam Lambert
