Country Week At American Idol
This week in American Idol was an interesting and dramatic one. The show began in a subdued mood, with Ryan giving “our thoughts and prayers” to all the people that were affected by the Virginia Tech tragedy.
However, the hush didn’t last long. The crowd is fired up. They really, really love their Top 7 Finalists. Not only do they boo Simon a lot throughout the night, but the angry horde also turns on Miss Paula. They boo loudly during her critique of LaKisha’s shouting.
Meanwhile, Simon has obviously had more then enough of Sanjaya. He’s done being nice. He’s done holding back. He’s done trying to ignore Sanjaya with the hopes he’ll go away. All I can say is, it’s about time, Simon. It’s no fun watching Idol, unless an outspoken Simon is “telling it like it is.”
Martina McBride, a contemporary country music superstar, is on hand this week to guide the finalists through Country Music Week. Martina says, “The best country songs sound like conversation.” She knows Simon isn’t a big fan of country music, but hopes “tonight will change his mind.”
