American Idol: Joanne, Kristy Lee, Garrett, and Colton Leave
Wow, tonight was harsh. After a video and song by the whole group, it was time for the results. So, Ryan calls Garrett on stage and says “It’s hard to say goodbye to anyone, but I’m gonna have to say it to you now.” Could that have been any harsher? The other 11 guys looked panic stricken, especially poor Danny Noriega. He seemed to alternate between fear and tears.
Then, it was the girl’s turn. Ryan called up Kristy Lee, who had struggled this week due to illness. I thought, “Uh oh, here we go,” but he told her she was safe. He quickly followed that up with “Leaving us tonight is Amy Davis.” It is like the band-aid thing – does it hurt more if you pull it off slow or quickly? Tonight, Ryan was definitely going with quickly!
Then we saw Paula’s new video for the song that will be on Randy’s album, like Santana I am assuming. It was okay, kinda JLo, kinda Janet Jackson, a bit Toni Basil in the middle (think “Oh Mickey”). Ryan then called Joanne and Amanda to the stage. He said that everyone on the sofa was safe, which made me happy because I forgot to vote for Brooke White. My husband was freaking out at the prospect of Amanda leaving, but she didn’t have to worry, it was Joanne’s night to leave. He then called Chickezie and Colton on stage. I think everyone knew Colton’s time was up.
What is weird is Joanne and Colton were both the last two contestants chosen. Coincidence? All I know is it has to suck being still on the high from making the top 24 and you barely get to enjoy the fame before you are voted off!
