"Idol" 2007 Part 27: Glock'ed out

I'm sure people will say this was a "surprise" elimination, a la Stephanie. But I'm sad to say I saw it comin'. Gina did a nice-but-uninspiring performance of a nice-but-uninspiring song. The judges' reactions were tepid --- not overly praiseful, not overly critical (with the exception of Simon) --- and Gina was always a middle-tier contestant anyway. It all combined for an early exit. But she really had the perfect song for a sing-out, didn't she? "Smile, when your heart is breaking..."

The real bitch of it is that Gina was outlived on the show by Sanjaya, Haley, and even Phil. That's gotta sting.

 I was worried that I'd have to sit through a performance by Tony Bennett. Instead I got a performance by Michael Buble, which is arguably worse. At least Tony Bennett has an excuse to sing those stupid standards --- they're his music. Michael Buble can't hack it as a modern artist, so he relies on rehashing outmoded tropes. Blech.

Worst. Pimpomercial. Ever. Reggae on "Idol," stupid eco-friendly garage concept, Gina acting a total fool --- awful. Let us never speak of it again.

My friend made a joke last night that if Sanjaya makes it past Top 6 he's going to actually start voting for him. And while I'm enjoying the insanity that is the American Idol Parody Show starring Sanjaya Malakar, if some real contenders like Blake, Jordin, or even Chris go home before him, I'm going to get seriously pissed off about the situation. I enjoy a good joke as well as the next person, but we already got stuck with Taylor last year. And he's joke enough.
