Bottom Of The Barrel

AI: And then there were only men left

Last night was the departure of Allison Iraheta who went from 17 year old LA unknown to the best female singer in the 8th season. I expect Allison to move forward as a recording artist and could even see her more as part of a band instead of just being herself out there. I also think a few more years of seasoning would do her a world of good. Unfortunately, I don't think coming in 4th place on the top rated show on TV will give her time to grow up and mature a little more.

Next week we will get the Judge's choice / Contestant's choice week. This gives the idols one more shot to show us who they think they are and it gives the judges a chance to select what they think the idols are. I particularly like when the judges, who do have good musical knowledge, get to select a song because it usually doesn't lead to a bad song choice. I now choose to listen to some All-American Rejects. Wino Out.
