American Idol 9: 2/25/10 Eliminations

If this first elimination round is any indication, MY PREDICTION SKILLS THIS YEAR ARE THE WEAKEST EVER! Eegads, I'm starting off with a 25% accuracy rating.

I didn't actually watch the results show tonight, and now that I hear there was a cheesy group lip-sync of Estelle's "American Boy," I'm glad I didn't. Did the Ford commercials start already? No, don't tell me. I don't wanna know.

Apparently, I missed a couple of people who actually can sing — Allison Iraheta and our reigning Idol, Kris Allen.

VFTW got what they wanted: The Superfluous E and Little Timmy got to stay and assault our ears for at least another week. On the girls' side, Ashley (my one correct pick) and Janell were cut, while Tyler and Joe were the first boys to fall. I actually almost picked Joe, but in a group of such lame-o guys, it was hard to pick who was lamest.

I really didn't see Tyler's elimination coming, but I'm glad he's gone. Especially now that I hear he whined that the judges didn't give him "enough constructive criticism," and that any advice they did give was "too little, too late." Sooo, if someone had told him in Hollywood that he needed to stop sucking so badly, he would've pulled it together for a fabulous performance? Somehow, I doubt it.
