The voting on American Idol is beginning to amaze me. As Paula Abdul said, “This is a singing competition”, but apparently America doesn’t understand that because Antonella Barba is still on the show. Now we know that she got votes because she has racy photos on the internet instead of for her singing ability, she has none.

Another shocker was Sanjaya Malakar. I do like Sanjaya, but even he was shocked that he is going to stay on the show and AJ Tabaldo is going home. Go figure! The reason Sanjaya got votes was because of the way Simon completely humiliated him on the show 2 nights ago. If the judges want this to really be a singing competition, then they should be careful what they say. Pity votes come out as a result. Are you listening Simon Cowell?

The only one of my predictions I got right was Nick Pedro. As is evident from the voting thought that this is turning into more of a popularity contest than a talent contest.

We were graced by Kellie Pickler this evening on American Idol and she was looking as sharp as ever. It was apparent that Kellie has been spending her money on more than just shoes since her new found American Idol fame. Okay, let’s just say it, her breast enhancement was quite noticeable for crying out loud. Kellie has now gone from gorgeous to awkward. I mean can you look at her and not notice she’s had a little, or a lot of, surgery? Ryan Seacrest asked her if she had been spending her money on anything but shoes, to which she remained completely clueless. That’s what we love about Kellie.

Anyway, back to the contestants voted off American Idol tonight. The four going home are:

Nick Pedro - Sorry Nick, maybe you can get a part on the next Apprentice though.

Alaina Alexander - Her Dixie Chicks (those chicks make me ill) rendition wasn’t enough to do it for America. Maybe it’s because the Dixie Chicks are such bimbos and we can’t stand your music or politics. Okay, I’m off my soapbox.

AJ Tabaldo - I’m pretty shocked here. I thought AJ did quite well the last 2 weeks and although I didn’t think he would be the winner, I didn’t expect to see him go this week.

Leslie Hunt - What can I say about Leslie? I don’t think she was that bad, Antonella certainly should have gone home in her place, but Leslie just didn’t have that Idol something. I thought she looked rather uncomfortable on stage.

It’s turning out to be a weird Amrican Idol this season.

      Ah Alan, they are not so much pity votes as the works of a website that strives to keep the worse contestants on for another week. http://www.votefortheworst.com/node is a force that needs to be reckoned with unfortunately. I’m urging my readers that they have to vote to keep their favorites on, because this website is working against the way AI was intended to be.

      I agree - American Idol is getting weird. People still keep voting for Antonella Barba despite the fact that she is obviously less talented than the others. And Sanjaya…he’s really a sweet kid and he has a nice voice, but should he really still be on the show? Maybe the problem is with the voting system, which (and no exageration here) allows one person to vote for the same contestant 40+ times in one night. I’m quickly losing faith in both the system and in the American public’s idea of talent.

      Yes, it’s very unfortunate that contestants are not kept on the show because of their talent. I do agree with the premise of VoteForTheWorst.com though. American Idol is for sheer entertainment value. Why else would they let some of the people audition that they do. Remember Ian Benardo? I got a comment from an old roommate of his that said his whole audition was a shtick and he was invited on the show.
