Gina is Gone!!

I was really surprised that Gina Glocksen was eliminated on American Idol last night! I thought for sure that Phil was a gonner. Poor Gina, she cried on Ryan Seacrest's shoulder while they were showing her farewell video. I feel bad for her. She definitely wasn't at the bottom of the pack as far as I was concerned. Haley Scarnato was wearing another pair of hotpants, that made her legs look really long. Haley managed to squeeze out a few crocodile tears for Gina when she found out she was safe.

Apparently Tony Bennett couldn't stomach another evening on Idol, so he called in sick and Fox managed to talk Michael Buble into a "surprise" appearance, which by the way, was announced to all Michael Buble fans by email a couple of hours before the show.

In another astounding twist, Randy was wearing a shirt made from his grandmothers tablecloth and Paula was wearing the matching lace curtains. Simon didn't stray from his tight t-shirt wardrobe.

So, another week of Sanjaya hair, Sanjaya news, Sanjaya propaganda and Sanjaya lame singing. Sigh.

Universe of Sanjaya

Last nights Idol manged to reach whole new levels of boring. Tony Bennett was the guest "mentor" and all the Idols pretended to flip out meeting him, but I'm sure half of them had never heard of Tony.

Blake Lewis kicked off the night with his rendition of "Mack the Knife" and he was his usual irritating self. I don't know what it is about Blake, but everything he does irritates me and I don't know why the judges like him so much. He's trying too hard to be unique, but it just doesn't come naturally.

Melinda Doolittle delivered another great vocal performance, but I can't even remember what she sung. Her perfection is becoming boring, although I really like her.

Gina Glocksen is most improved every week. The judges didn't really like her vocals on "Smile", but I thought that she was good, and definitely has her own style.

Everyone else was blah! Even Lakisha, who insists on disregarding the excellent advice of the mentors, every single week. You can't tell me she knows more than Tony Bennett!!

And then of course we have Mr Sanjaya Malakar, dazzling in his ice cream white suit and slicked back hair, underwhelming us with "Cheek to Cheek". Dude cannot sing. At all. The judges have completely given up on even critiquing Sanjaya's singing. And when Simon said "Let's take a different tactic this week... incredible...", Sanjaya screamed out "Welcome to the Universe of Sanjaya". Is Sanjaya believing his own publicity? I doubt he will be gone this week. He'll probably make it to the final four at this stage.

If you are a huge Sanjaya fan check out the Sanjaya Fan Network . They have some great discussion boards going on everything Sanjaya, including his sister!! It's definitely worth a look if you are intersted in keeping Sanjaya on American Idol.

DialIdol.com is predicting that only Melinda Doolittle is safe and Haley Scarnato has the lowest number of votes!!
