Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson were in the bottom two on American Idol last night and I really wasn’t sure which way it was going to go. I could understand why they were there (for two very different reasons and NOT because I necessarily thought they belonged there) but I was still a little surprised. I’m not trying to pick on anyone, but I really thought these two spots might be reserved for Jason Castro and Brooke White. I guess their uniqueness is more appealing to the audience.
In the end, Carly was sent home. What do you think? Did the right person leave? In the meantime, watch Carly’s farewell performance:
I was sorry to see Carly go, but it seems like she was one of those people that “has potential” but you never really seem to see it.
On the other hand, Jason and Brooke DEFINITELY should have been in the bottom two if it was based on performance alone.
I don’t think “not being the worst” is a good excuse. She was not good, She was pitchy, behind the music, forgot some words and was screechy. Just because a lot of the best top 12 ever have problems performing does not excuse a poor performance. Personally, I would have liked to see 4 people thrown off yesterday. How hard is it to sing on key and on the beat? People have managed it other years.
She wasn’t the worst last night, she should have lasted another week. Dreadlocks needs to go home. He mumbles.
