So there you have it.
I really didn't mind Thia Megia and Naimi Adedapo getting eliminated. But Pia Toscano?
She's not only star material because of beauty, she leaves the show because some teeny bopper horny kids whose got unlimited texts putting the boys (some of who should have gone home early on) left in the running.
Of the 8 remaining, only 2 are women. The rest are boys.
At the rate that it's running, it should be curtain time for AI.
It's sad that talents are not recognized in this show and it seems to be that people are just voting based on popularity.
And AI has a history of voting for an Idol but not eventually even being a big hit, hits rock bottom tonight. Was this intentional on the part of the producers? From the grapevine is the fact that AI has been losing ground among its audience. I'm not surprised that they pulled one to shock the audience and keep the votes coming.
They need to change the format soon. Otherwise, the next one going home is....Ryan Seacrest.

Hey, fuck you, you are a big big asshole. You think you are good but you are really not. You are so fake. From Me.
I was amused that I ticked off someone with my blog on AI. This was the comment I received from this blog.
While blogging and writing can receive both good and bad comments, reactions like these only show how immature the responses of some readers are.
Of course I do not expect good reviews. The blog is opinionated and every reader in entitled to his or her own opinion, much in the same way that the blogging is opinion-based as well. But that is what writing is all about. It expresses that freedom which many of us dish out so freely, because it is what it is. And you can counter argue that the comment left by the reader is his/her opinion as well.
I will not argue with whoever commented in the above manner. However, anyone who curses and uses such vile language and writes down his pseudonym as Anonymous is humor to me. They actually have no balls nor brain to make a constructive criticism as well. But thank you Anonymous for visiting my blogsite. And to give you credit, I have dedicated one blog article just for you. Imagine that! You should be proud I even took the time to give you space when no space is needed for ghosts like you.
People like "Anonymous" should and will remain as such. They have no contribution to society, except to stay as anonymous. Their opinions don't matter. And anonymity is tantamount to non-existence in this world.
N.B. What is fantastic about technology is that I have installed care of Sitemeter.com, a counter (and more) for my blogsite. This counter identifies who and where my comments are coming from. Click on the sitemeter below each page and you'll know what I mean. I think everyone should install this, as it is free and you can find out where the followers and the noisemakers are coming from.

AI the 9th and hopefully LAST season
Alright, so I'm a fan of American Idol.
That was then.
From seasons 4-8, I was one of the millions that surreptitiously followed AI all the way from the auditions till the crowning glory.
And I have never agreed with the Americans on their choice of winners except for Jordin Sparks.
Simon Cowell puts it bluntly and truthfully - this is, after all, a singing contest.
But the voting online has cast so much doubts on who is the rightful owner of the plum prize. Perhaps saying that those who rooted for the winners were (or are still) tone deaf is actually a kind comment.
And season 9 has been the biggest disappointment. For everyone who has been following the elimination rounds from the top 24 to the top 20, darn, some of them were not only out of tune, but out of sync. And, by popularity, they remained in the competition...off to either fight another day or to make viewers lose interest eventually.
Has America lost talent in looking for better singers?
This has been the worst of the Idol seasons. Adding even the new judge Ellen Degeneres has been a problem for me. While I like Ellen in her talk show, I think that as a judge, she should be more unbiased. She is a sore eye in the show as I don't know whether she is actually judging the competition or convincing people on whom to vote to stay or playing safe so that she doesn't lose viewers for her talk show. So much for trying to swim in two oceans at the same time.
Truth be told, while the erstwhile judge Paula Abdul was not a great judge as well (as she praised everyone who made it to the semifinals), Degeneres must find a place in the sun and like her comments to the contestants, I don't think Degeneres is cut out to be a judge for the competition as well. She flip flops and even her choices are a big DUH!!! She even comments at the end of each performance on who the audience should vote for to stay. If you don't believe me, rewind to all the previous shows.
Degeneres may have "discovered" the "talent" of local singer Charice Pempengco, but even the latter is not laden with enough talent. While Charice can sing, she has a hard time pronouncing the lyrics well enough for the song to be appreciated. And she does not have the charisma in a concert. After a few songs, Charice is good to go and falters in tone, diction and personality. Could Degeneres have been wrong in discovering singers, which is actually not her forte.
Which goes back to AI the 9th season.
It's all the same stuff. Perhaps I had higher expectations considering that Abdul has been replaced by someone more popular and Cowell is on his way out. Seacrest is as tacky as a host and has no surprises any longer. Perhaps he too is too old for the job.
And if you watch the show, the judges look like they are so disappointed with the contestants that they wouldn't care less who got booted out in the subsequent weeks.
And the songs...darn...I would not even waste precious money attempting to download on iTunes any of them. It was difficult enough to appreciate them during the competition, why do I want my iPhone to carry a screechy song?
One thing for sure, I will attempt to finish what I started with AI this season...but it gets to be more painful having to listen to these contestants screech in and out till the finals.
At the rate it is going, after they declare the winner for AI the 9th season, it may be lights out for the series as well.
