If Jennifer Hudson caused a storm when she was voted out of American Idol – undeservedly, so they say, LaToya’s elimination is a minor natural disaster. Her very impressive final performance probably didn’t help.
But even though I was shocked, I have to confess a small part of me expected, almost wanted this to happen. There’s no doubt that LaToya is very, very good, but like Paulini, I think she was beginning to stagnate a little. It doesn’t matter, she’ll probably get a recording contract anyway. After all, William Hung didn’t even make it past the preliminaries, and he’s arguably the biggest star of the Idol phenomenon.
I wonder if the American public are getting bored with all this. Maybe they’re toying with this whole series of Idol after Idol after Idol. They voted a small white and a big black for Idol 1 and 2 (this sounds more like coffee than anything), maybe now they’ll vote an Asian. By the way, is this American Idol 3 or 4?
Now all eyes will be on Jasmine Trias. And my sister put it all into perspective when she said, “I feel so sorry for Jasmine, now she has to stay on in the show knowing that everyone thinks she shouldn’t be there.”
Well, I hope she redeems herself. Last week was just bad. And it would be kinda nice to have her win Idol.
