it's NOT fair!!!
Ok, I need to take a deep breath first.
*breathes*
Ok. I just saw the top 4 elimination of American Idol about 5 minutes ago. I really enjoyed their performances last night - the Elvis songs were great. And I felt that the contestants really brought it. Good reviews were recieved by them, most of all Elliot (the most deserving to win), and least of all, Katherine (I love her, but...).
Being a rock fan, as you know, I rooted for Bo last year, where he almost won. But at least he's the runner up right? So this year, I rooted for Chris Daughtry. True, true, Bo is better than him in terms of versatility, but Chris can sing, and he can ROCK! He's so intense, you can feel the air around you get sucked up into the tv screen when he performs.
I predicted him and Mandisa to be at the finale. Unluckily, Mandisa was out weeks ago, another stupid mistake. She was the best female vocalist there. This was the time that I underappreciated Elliot, but not anymore. He deserves to win. But of course, I still leave a little for Chris.
The show started, and the top 4 performed. It was fantastic! Chris sang "Love Me Tender" and it was oh so beautiful I almost melted. And then they rocked out, and they had a lot of fun. I was smiling the whole time. The show was going great so far. But when Chris got paired up with Katherine for the vote-off, I sat up alert. Ok, I was confident that Kat would get voted off because her 2 performances got negative remarks, while Chris got a great remark for the first and a so-so one for the second. But that's better than getting two boos right?
As Ryan Seacrest's style, he tends to shock people. I was really concentrating, but then thoughts were swimming in my head as I prayed hard, "Not Chris... Not Chris...". But then, Ryan suddenly blurted out, "Chrish, you're going home tonight. The journey ends here."
The scenario didn't register right away. I realized it when they started showing the video of his journey in AI. I was shocked, angry, depressed all at the same time. Tears appeared, I couldn't help it. I was speechless. Frantically, I reached for my cellphone and called the only peson I knew who's watching the same time as me.
I was screaming, wailing more like, into the phone. I really couldn't express my disappointment. Chris did wonderful last night, and for that he got voted off? Katherine deserved to go tonight. Believe me, I've got nothing against her. I love her. She's one of my favorites, she's so talented and so gorgeous. But her performance last night, compared to the other 3 guys, can't match up, and she should've gone. I'm now starting to believe the conspiracy theory of many people, that the network is the one choosing who's going and who isn't. I think they're trying to keep in "interesting" by leaving a girl in the top 3, or else it'll be all guys. They're sacrificing their credibility for this, and it sucks. This season wasn't that great to start with, and then they do this. I hate it.
