Idol Gives Back, Part Two


Sure it was depressing, but it was much better than I thought it would be. The eliminations really didn't seem all that important compared to the issues that were being presented. I mean, how can you care if Chris or Lakisa is being voted off after seeing the little kid that Ryan called the World's Hardest Working Father? It was a nice touch that they didn't cut anyone this week, but it hardly lived up to the "Most Shocking Results Ever!!!" hype. The non-cut did seem appropriate on this week though. Hated the all-white outfits. All the performances were very nice. The comedy was good most of the time, especially the "Staying Alive" and Simpsons skits. Celine and "Elvis" were okay. Glad to see that Kelly Clarkson and the show have patched up their differences. Was it me or was she looking a little healthier tonight?
Conspiracy theory: It sure seems that the producers and judges are kind of pushing Jordin, since they want a younger person to win this season (instead of like Taylor Hicks last year or perhaps Melinda this year). Very subtle things like positioning her last on Tuesday and out-of-nowhere praise like Randy saying that her song on Tuesday was among the best ever on the show (it was good, but it wouldn't even be in the top 20). Then last night they did the fake elimination where it looked like she was cut (nobody even bought it) and then came the waterworks. Now she might get the sympathy vote and ensure her safety for a couple of more weeks. Just a theory that I came up with during last night's Good Times.
