We saw the fourth day of Hollywood Week tonight on American Idol and, except for a couple things, I wasn’t really surprised. What did you think?
With 72 contestants competing to be among this year’s finalists, it was good to see some people taking risks. The Idol hopefuls were allowed to use instruments during their performance (most didn’t). As usual, the performers were split into four rooms after another day of auditions and, of course, you could see how nervous they all were.
I had a good laugh when Tatiana Del Toro, one of the most emotional contestants I’ve ever seen on the show (okay, she’s THE most emotional and high-strung person I’ve seen make it this far on the show) was taken from one room and moved to another – when she got to the new room, those people got A LOT more nervous since her behavior makes it hard to tell if the judges like her or not.
Of the groups, only those in Room 3 were eliminated and they included Michael Castro, India Morrison, Kaylan Lloyd, Leneshe Young, Lacey Brown and Ryan Johnson. I have to admit that I was surprised to see Leneshe eliminated. I thought her rendition of Sara Bareille’s “Love Song” was actually quite good. Too bad.
I was glad to see a few of my favorites stick around most notably Anoop Desai (who sang “My Prerogative” which seems like an odd song choice), Lil Rounds (“If I Ain’t Got You”) and Michael Sarver (although, his performance of “All or Nothing” was a bit weak). I hope they make it to the finals!
Who were your favorites of the night?

VFTW has had the top 36 list up since last week. suprise surprise tatiana makes the list. cant help but wonder if the show really is rigged if someone like her is put through. like producers say you must put so and so through because they make good tv, who cares if they suck.
