Unfortunately IdolGoHome has been down for a few weeks due to hackers and other technical problems, and I am suffering from AI blogging withdrawal, so I'll have to make a post here instead.
Hallelujah! Last night's elimination show has restored my faith in humanity. We can finally say goodbye to Kevin "Chicken Little" Covais! I am so glad to see that America finally came to its collective senses and got rid of this doofus. Sure, he's a sweet kid, but C'MON! *I* freakin sing better than him! Just selecting him for the top 24 was a cruel joke... letting him make the top 12 was just plain sad. Unfortunately the crop of guys this year was really weak in general. So I guess when you're faced with 9 mediocre talents and 3 superstars and you have to pick 6 to go on, it's not that surprising that two of the worst (Kevin and Bucky) went on while the "average" singers went home.
Anyway, last night America got it exactly right. The bottom three were Kevin, Bucky, and Lisa Tucker, in that order. I actually thought Lisa might be the one to go home, due to the "sympathy vote" and the support from VoteForTheWorst.com for Kevin, and I know there are a lot of rednecks out there who like Bucky's southern rock. But these three are clearly the weakest singers of the group and have been since the round of 24 started. Hopefully America will continue to vote this way and we'll get this thing down to the eight truly talented singers... and THEN we'll have a competition.
Of course all this did bring up some thoughts of conspiracy theories. I mean last week Ace Young (the pre-season pick to win it all) was in the bottom three along with Lisa and Melissa "Bellybutton" McGhee. Ace was safe for another week... but could it have been a ploy by AI producers to stir up controversy and get people to vote more often? Perhaps they were irritated that Kevin Covais had made it this far and threw Ace in the bottom three to increase viewer voting and help counteract the VoteForTheWorst.com voting block? Since Fox doesn't release voting totals, we'll never know. Of course DialIdol.com did predict (based on measuring busy signals) that Ace would be in the bottom three. Although their order prediction wasn't right, it does seem to support the results as shown on TV. (If DialIdol had shown him in the top 6, then we'd have a controversy!)
Of course one could also argue the opposite conspiracy theory -- that Fox intentionally kept Kevin around for another week just to stir up controversy and outrage fans of the other singers. Could that be possible? DialIdol's predictions seem to support that theory, as they put Kevin in the bottom three last week. Hmmmm....
But I guess it doesn't matter now. Kevin was voted off last night and all is right with the world again... at least until next Wednesday!
