Remember Season 3 when it was down to 6 contestants and Ryan divided them into two groups- the top 3 and the bottom 3. Remember how 'shocked' everyone was that the best singers Latoya London, Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia B. ended up being the bottom group... They were TOO good. America likes to root for the underdog and the unexpected.
I fear (judging by the unofficial AI facebook fan page poll) that the same fate is waiting for Mike Lynche.
Blow my Bowersox off...
Big Mike might have some competition. Can't wait to see the real GK in concert this summer!

Dig 'em Good
OK, Got my cereal. I'm back ... and maybe it's the sugary goodness of the Smacks but I'm not hating DiDi's performance of "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted." The judges hated it, but then they didn't have any Honey Smacks.
What becomes of the broken hearted? Apparently, you go on Idol and have Ryan embarrass you in front of a couple million people.
OK, as someone who was fortunate enough to see Anita Baker perform that song live, I am insulted (on behalf of Anita) by Tim Urban's half-assed and half-hearted, would-make-Barry-Manilow-mad-attempt to sing "Sweet Love." Shame on him. Shame.
Didn't I say no songs by people involved in domestic abuse scandals. Andrew makes Chris Brown's "Forever" sound like a Doublemint gum commercial. Actually there are far better Doublemint gum commercials....
Oh lord, this little girl is gonna try to sing Aretha. I gotta go.
Peace Out Idol watchers!

These are my confessions ....
I am soooo sorry y'all! I forgot to include in my list of "don't" -- anyone who has ever worked with Prince, Jimmy Jam or Terry Lewis, LaFace or R. Kelly. That would've taken care of that Chaka Khan debacle.
If you're interested in hearing how that song SHOULD sound (brings back fond memories of middle school), take a listen ...
... maybe she should have done Kanye's "Through the Wire".
I HEART Big Mike's take on India Arie's "Ready for Love"
I think I'm ready for love my darn self ....
The show can basically end now. Mike is the only one of those kids with any talent at all. I've had my Usher fix. I can eat my Honey Smacks and go to bed ...

Some advice -- no songs from anyone who goes by first name only. No Whitney. No Mariah. No Luther (aka Lootha). No Babyface. No Brandy. No Monica. And sadly -- no Usher.
And then again, they probably shouldn't tackle any groups or duets, so there goes Boyz II Men and any song from the 60s.
And no songs by anyone blind or otherwise disabled, so lets delete Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Teddy Pendergrass.
No songs by anyone ever involved in a domestic abuse scandal. Say goodbye to songs by Tina Turner, Chris Brown, Bobby Brown, Rihanna, Al Green and TLC (You don't remember Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes literally burning down her boyfriend Andre Risen's house?)
That leaves about 8 songs .... Surely they can get at least ONE of them right.
