Idol - kicked off

Before I dive in to talk about who got kicked off last night, I would like to take a second to confirm how much I CAN’T STAND Danny Gokey. His new single was actually pretty good, but his douchiness–oh his douchiness–can he not help himself? He spews douche juice all over the place.

I couldn’t believe that he put Ellen on the spot about being on her show–in the MIDDLE of a Live show! Ellen responded, “Yeah, the schedules just haven’t worked out.” I call B.S. on Ellen, she probably thinks he’s as big as a douche as everyone else.

And then, he goes on and starts spewing plugs all over the place. Um, Danny–you’re on the show to plug your new single, let Ryan do it for you, and have some humility. Danny Gokey reigns as king of the Idol douchebags.

Now that I got that off my chest, let’s talk about the elimination.

Read more after the jump (WARNING: SPOILER ALERT)

Before I start, I need to apologize about my predictions earlier this week. I don’t know how I missed Haeley Vaughn’s performance two nights ago…I went back and watched it, and YES I agree w/ Dani, and itchy–Lacey is NOT so bad (she does have a really interesting voice), but Haeley, on the other hand, was horrible. Aside from Haeley’s off-tune singing, I kind of liked her–she was a young ray of sunshine, but she needs A LOT of work, and maybe some braces, but her teeth are her charm…so who knows?!

Anyway, the eliminated contestants were:

-Michelle Delamor

-Haeley Vaughn,

-John Park

-Jermaine Sellers

I kind of think that Michelle was neck and neck with Paige, and Didi. I like Didi’s voice, but just don’t love her too much–but I do in a way at the same time…does that make sense? I don’t think she did as bad as the judges thought she did (but that’s up for discussion).

My thoughts on the eliminated contestants:

-Michelle: she’s a good corporate singer…she’ll be great on a cruise ship someday, or even Vegas, but she wasn’t right for this competition.

-Haeley: she can use AT LEAST 2 more years of training.

-John–he has an amazing voice, but just can’t connect. His exit performance was the most connected I’ve seen him.

-Jermaine…must I say? He’s good, but he should stick to wearing his onesies, and perhaps collaborating with some artists (not a bad route for him)…that is if God thinks so (*lightning bolt).

    It’s a shame about Michelle, because, damn, she is beautiful, like, true classic beauty. She just needs the right producer.

    Her fault for being ‘of color’ I suppose… I guess the part of America that votes for idol isn’t the part that voted for the president….

    Huge douche. I would have said it was an improvement that he only mentioned his dead wife five times — including the bit where he bonded with the songwriter b/c of he had a dead wife and Gokey had a dead wife so it was like fate them hooking up to do the song — but he was only on screen for something like ten minutes. Then he name-dropped Randy Travis telling him he had to do country, which he had never figured but totally felt because he was just a good old boy … HATE! GO AWAY.

    I liked the Gokey song but I think he’s becoming a parody of himself. I laughed when he mentioned his dead wife and laughed again when he mentioned the song was written by a man who also lost his wife.

    Really, he’s just doing it on purpose now.

    I especially liked the bit where Gokey insisted on telling us how great the other guy said he was.

    All of a sudden his vaguely ‘urban’ accent has changed to vaguely country. Doesn’t this guy come from Michigan?

    What a poser.

    Itchy – I’m so confused about your woman of color comment! Do you typically watch AI? Women of color do very well on this show…I can think of at least 2 who have won the entire competition.

    Oh man…Gokey. Never liked him, not one iota. He was sooo over the top on this episode and talking SOO fast. He also looked a tad thinner…I admit, I had to wonder if he’s on diet pills or something.

    Well, I’ve only watched last season (and vaguely paid attention to the one before it), so you’re right, I don’t know who won before.

    It just seems odd that they seem to be clearing out the non-whites as fast as possible this season.

    Not that the people who’ve been eliminated should have stayed, mind you.

    hey guys–
    1. still hate gokey. lol
    2. the only reason Tim Urban is still on is b/c he has the damn tween vote. i watched the guys episode again yesterday (not b/c I chose to, but b/c my friends were catching up on their DVR), and he’s horrible. He DID perform MUCH better than the week before, but he sucks. And Jermaine–yeah he was on his way out, but this week wasn’t his week to go compared to the poop that Tim Urban sang.

    I’m not a Tim Urban hater–I think Ellen is right, he could do very well on a show like Glee, or something similar–he’s just not right for this competition.
