I didn't watch last night's singing bit of American Idol, but just watched tonight's voting section, which featured a little bit of singing. In the main, it was dreadful.
There are now five potential idols left, following tonight's departure of New York's Constantine Maroulis. Good riddance. A B-rate soft-rock singer you might find performing on a cruise. So, who's left?
- Anthony Fedorov: the Aled Jones of the competition. He'd be a rubbish winner - weak!
- Bo Bice: real name? Can't be. The only remaining rocker following Constantine's somewhat overdue departure. Meatloaf wannabe who shouldn't be winning American Idol
- Carrie Underwood: she gets my vote. Great voice and a worthy winner; kinda sexy too, which is a bonus
- Scott Savol: absolutely dreadful. And I mean dreadful. He's now turned to wearing a baseball cap high on the head and baggy pants (American version) to appeal to the youth market, but it's just cringe-worthy from this 28-year-old. The worrying thing is that this week, he was in the top three!
- Vonzell Solomon: not bad, but not quite there - second of the bunch.
Now I know this assessment sounds sexist, but for whatever reason, the guys are just appalling. It's either Aled Jones, Meatloaf or a podgy, geeky Brian Harvey. So hopefully Carrie will pull through
