The elimination of Jacob Lusk was a voting-decision long-awaited by the AI viewing public. Jacob Lusk came out so strong during the earlier weeks of the contest but the fervor died as we or some of us got bored with his style – screaming and all. But Lusk is lucky. This guy held on to his seat for weeks which means he has had sufficient number of votes, more than talented jazzy Casey Abrams, or Paul Mac Donalds and even Stefano Langone.
Now we are down to magic four and it is getting more exciting than ever because my bets James Durbin and Haley Rheinhart are assured in the top. After Haley Rheinhart got the judegs standing ovation by piping the, “House of the Rising Sun” my hopes are up. And I think my father is wrong after all about the American voting public. They are getting smarter. Because along with Jacob Lusk in the bottom is Lauren Alaina. Both dished out bad performances. Jacob made very poor song choices (Hello! is “No Air” even a song?!). Lauren even ruined an all-time favorite song, “Unchained Melody” to the dismay of my mother, my father and I. The next one to go will definitely be Lauren, that is if America gets smarter again next week. I maintain that American Idol should be a talent show not a popular show and the voting public should at least recognize what talent is and is not.
