idol redux

so i had stopped watching idol. that's not to say i didn't follow it, i just didn't watch. it had gotten to the point where the judges just commented, america decided who stays and whose "journey ends here." i guess i just had no faith in america.

America started off well though, voting off decidedly uninspiring contestants like judd, jared, joseph, and melinda (she was so forgetable i had to look her up). Last week they came down to the final 12. And I couldn't really disagree with who America picked. After a strange happening, with Mario inexplicably leaving and being replaced by Nikko, this week arrived with America deciding who went home regardless of sex.

And since she doesn't have hordes of teenage girls voting for her, Lindsey is headed home tonight. I wouldn't say she deserved to win it all (like i thought when I first saw her) but she most certainly is a better singer than at least Constantine, Anthony, and Nikko (although Nikko might be considered a better entertainer). oh well... hopefully the 'Constatine vote' and the 'Anthony vote' don't actually get a constistantly good singer kicked off the show early.

oh and finally my favorite moment of wednesday night's show came during a commercial: "Coca Cola with lime, it's lime flavored Coke!"
