Well, America voted and sent home one of the contestants with the most true vocal talent – Jessica.
Anthony didn’t end up in the bottom 3 as I predicted he would. Anwar did, but he was saved. I don’t know why I am surprised by this. I go though it every season of this stupid show. America votes on popularity, not pure talent. Anthony should have gone home. He has been inconsistent and off key through much of the competition.
This has all the potential to be like last year when America kept that red-haired freak of a Sinatra impersonator, John Stevens, around for way, way, way too long. His “talent” ran out of gas on the first week or two of the show yet America kept him around until his presence was uncomfortable. Even he was at the point where he realized he should go.
So here we are again. We’ll keep Anthony around not based on talent, as it should be, but based on the fact that he is a young, blond haired, immigrant that couldn’t even speak until his operation. It’s a fantastic success story. They should make a made-for-TV movie out of it. But he doesn’t belong on this show any longer.
America, we’re still a bunch of dumbasses.
See ya next week.
