The show started out well, with Lyric 145 leaving the competition, making me relieved for a bit. Then Taylor Swift sang some song about her love life that sounded like it had way too many pre-recorded sounds backing up her weak voice.(As you can tell, she annoys me and I do not think she deserves the attention she gets as a singer).
Finally they revealed the bottom 2 this week, which was quite surprising as Jennel Garcia and Paige Thomas were announced. I think this is ridiculous as Jennel has always been one of my favorites that brings a unique voice and awesome personality to the show.
Jennel sang “The Reason” by Hoobastank and did quite well, showing her vulnerable side and looked to be almost crying during the song. I just wish she didn’t even have to be in this bottom two! Paige sang like she usually does, she has a stronger “diva” voice that makes Jennel look weaker in comparison. (Though I like Jennel more as a person and performer). She didn’t deserve to be in the bottom, and what made me mad, was the little argument about who should pick first to vote for who they wanted to send home. Simon forced Demi to choose, when she obviously wanted America’s votes to be the final decision, so she set it up, voting for Paige and then Simon doesn’t even give Jennel a chance and decides for America that he wants Jennel gone. It seemed like a jerk move to me, and I am really disappointed in how this show ended. I will continue supporting Jennel and hope to see her continue her music career after this show! It won’t be the same looking forward to her performances every week, this reminds me of when Drew Ryniewicz got sent home because of the judge’s stupid decision…Why does this always happen to the good ones? 😦
Oh well, for good news, Carly Rose is still running strong, giving Tate Stevens a run for his money. It will be between them two to win it I think!
Let me know your thoughts about this eventful show.
Keeping ya updated.
