So, Yo!

Posted on April 10, 2008 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Yo, yo, Randy! What the hell were you smoking when you lauded Jason Castro’s ukulele accompanied song on Tuesday night? Did you pass some of it to Simon, too? Is the next American Idol also going to be the next Tiny Tim?

Simon and Randy agreed that “Jason is back!” Redhead and I agreed that It Sucked. Who’s right?

That’s subjective, I know, but when you consider that the voting demographic is not replete with the ladies from Canasta Night at The Villages, why would you expect that Jason would do well with that crap? I suppose if Taylor Hicks can be an American Idol, anyone can!

David Archuleta delivered another winner, and is safe.

Surprisingly, plucky, leggy Kristy Lee Cook, who did a Martina McBride number that was right up her alley (and this Turkey would like to get right up her alley), will be safe for another week. Her confidence is growing, and she might be good for another couple of weeks. I think that her popularity with the voters is increasing.

Carly Smithson might have hurt herself a lot with her song selection. If she manages to hang on, how about putting some duct tape over that damn tattoo?

Syesha Mercado wasn’t bad, so I think her ass is safe. Same for Michael Johns and David Cook. No great shakes for any of these three, but they’ll survive.

Well, let’s see…who does that leave? Ahh, Brooke White. This Turkey believes that it will be sayonara for Brooky tonight. Her voice was shaky on Tuesday, and it left me wanting to see less of her. So, it’s goodbye for Brooke tonight, methinks.

    I’ll put my three cents in before the proceedings begin:

    I think it’s down to Brooke or Carly; both are in real danger of going home tonight.

    This season, it seems, the males are the stronger of the singers; the gals have failed to live up to the higher standards (most of) the guys have set. Could it be an all-male contest at the end? Unlikely the voters will go that way but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t.

    See you soon, Turkey!

Most of what is posted here involves a heavy dose of hip-shooting conjecture, but unlike some other blogs, we don't represent it as fact. Read More…
