That is the only way to explain American Idol this year -- Scott Savol has made a pack with the Devil! He sold what little soul he had and it has let him get this far.
Let me step back for a moment...
It has been a very busy week -- more on that later today -- so I did not have time to do my usual AI05 post, but I will give you what my predictions were:
CJD's predictions:
Best performance of the evening: Carrie
Weakest performance of the evening: Savol... although Constintine tried to make a race of it. Hor-a-ble!
Who should be in the bottom three: Savol, Anthony, Constintine
Who will be in the bottom three: Savol, Constintine, Vonzell
Who will/should go home: Scott
As well all now know, Scott did not go home. In fact, Scott did not even make the bottom three. It was Vonzell, Constintine, and Anthony. Vonzell got to sit down and Constintine goes home amid a sobbing Paula.
So I am now convinced that Scott has made a pack with the Devil. How else can you explain Bobo The Wonder Idol's continued success?
We have officially entered bizarro-world!
And Bo, who is not a CJD-fav, is the only one of my original final three still in the race. It is just wrong! Bot is talented, but I just don't see him as a pop idol. And he pretty much does the same regardless of the theme. I guess the new CJD-fav would be Carrie, who is a bit on the boring side, but has great pipes.
One last aside... AI scandal watch. When does the ABCNews special air? The WP's TV columnist says the American public doesn't seems to care. I don't think that is the case. I just don't think anybody thinks this is a Quiz Show scandal. Are the number of calls fixed? Save that, it falls short. If the big story is that Paula is goosing the boys she likes, that seems to fall far short of a scandal to me. She's a judge, for goodness sakes. Each week, she says who she likes and who she doesn't like... but I can't wait to tune in. Has ABCNews said when it is airing yet? Just checked... tune in May 4 at 10p on ABC for PrimeTimeLive's "Fallen Idol"
