The judge’s save is a worthless, imbecilic, pointless, wasted effort on ‘American Idol’. It’s the Kobayashi Maru of reality television … the quintessential no-win situation.
‘Idol’ pares down (up?) 13 contestants for us to quibble and worry over for the remainder of the season. All my choices made it … but I was shocked by one addition to the group.
So … did the girls out-perform the guys from the night before? Not in this reviewer’s opinion. There was some horrific performances … but … there was one contestant who won me over …
With the first night of competition under their belts, some ‘Idol’ contestants displayed their chops while others simply showed the stage ruled them …
Naturally, a few surprise entries into the Top 24 on ‘Idol’ were revealed. And some of those sob story contestants we thought would make it through didn’t. Overall, however, a pretty strong collection of voices are moving forward.
There just might be a “run” today on musicians pounding the pavement in search of a stand-up bass at their local music shops. Why? Just take a look.
Where’s my drama button? ‘Cause ‘Idol’ was full of it during Hollywood Group Week. Lots of bad, lots of tears, lots of good old fashioned television escape.
