Comments on: Idol: Rank ‘Em 1-to-8 http://kulturblog.com/2008/04/09/idol-rank-em-1-to-8/ A pop culture blog by Mormons but not about Mormonism Sat, 26 May 2012 14:16:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: MCQ http://kulturblog.com/2008/04/09/idol-rank-em-1-to-8/#comment-19799 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 21:31:28 +0000 http://www.kulturblog.com/2008/04/idol-rank-em-1-to-8/#comment-19799 I thought it would be Carly to go too, but I thought Michael was a real possibility as well. He had similar indifferent performances, but Carly has the better voice. I think Carly’s next, unless something changes a lot.

I seriously thought Carly was toast.

Looks aren’t everything, but they do matter. I think that might be what got Melinda last year (a better singer than Jordin, IMO). It’s also what kept Hailey in the game last year too (show a little leg, get a little love). I’m all in favor of more thrusting glistening golden boobage.

And seeing Heart on Idol Gives Back night was a real treat – especially since they played my favorite Heart song.

His best performances were ones that he did straight up (both Queen songs) while his worst ones where the songs that he tried to add a bit of spin on (“A Day in the Life” being a perfect example).

I wonder if the other networks might smell blood and will go after some share next year instead of putting their crappiest shows against it.

Ryan’s dismissal was downright wrong.

I was sure we’d have 2 or 3 of the gals go home before the next guy.

I’m sad for the hottness, but I have no doubt he’ll last past the show. Unlike some.
