Finally!!! Brooke White gets voted off American Idol. I don’t know if I could take another week of her butchering up classic American songs.
I hope Jason Castro leaves next week. He also hasn’t been able to step up his game since he sang “Some Where Over The Rainbow.” Where did his sweet reggae vibe go?
And in other Idol news:
Paula Abdul apparently has been getting a lot of slack for her comment she made to Jason Castro on Tuesday where she said that she liked his first song he sang better than his second. Funny thing, he hadn’t sang his second song yet.
“ Jason, first song, I loved hearing your lower register, which we never really hear, um… the second song, I felt like your usual charm wasn’t - it was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty.
“The two songs made me feel like you’re not fighting hard enough to get into the top four,” she said, before being told by fellow judge Randy Jackson that only one song had been performed.
After realizing her blunder, Abdul said: “Oh my god, I thought you sang twice!”
Ryan Seacrest tried to smooth over the situation by saying, “You’re seeing the future, baby!”, before cutting her off and asking another judge, Simon Cowell, for his comments.
“This was officially the strangest show we’ve ever done,” Cowell said at the end of the program.
Paula Abdul found it necessary to quash the confusion rumors and called in to Ryan Seacrest on his KIISFM radio show Wednesday morning to discuss what happened and what she was thinking at that moment.
She explained that Nigel Lythgoe, the executive producer of AI, changed things up at the last minute and asked the judges to comment about the contestants singing midway through the show instead of at the end.
“It was so confusing,” said Paula. “The whole thing is like, ‘Hello?’ It was crazy for us. In seven years, we’ve never had to do that.”"So, the kids are coming out, and I’m like ‘Oh my God, what do we do?’ ” recalls Paula. “I just started looking at what I had written down and we’ve never had to do this before. I was reading the critique of what I had written for Jason Castro, and on the same page, I also wrote David. I got lost on my notes. And that’s as simple as it was.”
“So, you were talking about two different people, but accidentally, you said second song,” confirms Ryan.Ryan has also said this to try to help clear the Paula rumors (what rumors, I’m not quite sure): “Now, one thing before we move on – last night on the show the judges were thrown a curve ball while we were on the air, which is just part of a live show, but it sparked a lot of gossip about Paula. And, I read some of this online this morning, and just for the record – the rumors, they’re not true. She’s part of our family, and we love her.”
