You Know How Disillusioned I Am?

I didn't even watch Idol this week. Not the performances or the judging. (I did save though so I can see Gwen and Akon's performances.)

Yes that's right I got my updates through my cousin (holla! Thanks PM) and Ew.com (thank you Michael Slezak). I even did my pool w/o so much as bothering to look for myself.

I think my point, to myself, was well proven when Sanjaya didn't even make the bottom three. I vacillate on whether he's going to make it to the top 5 or even 2 or not, and I try to decide if that would be hilarious or not.

The only reason I think it would NOT be hilarious is because then the show would be in trouble. Given that Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry are all best sellers/Grammy Artists, clearly the competition can't go on if people are not going to vote for the absolute best.

The only way around it that I think would work is a judge's veto. I saw this on Grease You're the One That I Want, when it happened to be on during my cleaning the other day and I was too lazy to turn it off. The audience votes and the least favorites get put in a bottom four, but then the judges can "save" someone from elimination if they think they've been put there unfairly. That way, someone they think doesn't deserve to be there can get eliminated. Perhaps this could work for Idol as well. Just a thought.

But that does nothing to help this season and my only concern is how Sanjaya will style his hair next. And will Lakisha ever prove she's more than just a really good singer (aka show some originality), if Melinda will ever excite me. I am rooting for Blake I decided.

Sigh.
