So who will be sent home on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 on American Idol? It’s got to be Jason Castro. His song tonight was pi-ti-ful. Such a beautiful song, and he totally slaughtered it. Which is too bad. Jason has a nice voice, but not an outstanding one.

However, his wasn’t the only bad performance. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brooke White or Carly Smithson were sent packing. Brooke forgot the lyrics, and after just a few hours, I’ve already forgotten what she sang. B-O-R-I-N-G.

I remember what Carly sang (Jesus Christ, Superstar), and I really looked forward to hearing her sing it, but she sounded discordant and shrill. Not good at all.

All three performances were mediocre, at best.

The two Davids and Ayesha were very good. They SHOULD be safe to sing another week.

Update: Carly was sent home. The surprising part of the show is that Syesha was in the bottom two. I guess if you look at her overall performance this season, then she deserved to be there. However, if you look at Tuesday night’s performance, she definitely did not belong there.

The problem is that the show appeals to young girls, and millions of teenage girls are voting each week - and, for some reason, they love Jason Castro. He is definitely the least talented of the contestants that are left. However, he could very well stay for another couple weeks simply because the teenage girls are ga-ga over him.

I hate to see Carly go. She has tremendous talent - and I could have seen her as the overall winner. However, I think the overall winner will be one of the Davids.
