Apparently this week’s theme was changed only a few days ago. Personally I would have rather seen what the contestants could do with the original theme, teen idols, because I think it presents more of a challenge than the very broad, very safe Billboard #1’s. Yawn. In previous seasons the contestants have struggled with such a generic theme; they don’t know what songs to choose or how to present themselves and end up looking foolish. For the most part this year’s contestants had the same problem, unfortunately: dated, awkward song choices and silly performances. Teen idol songs couldn’t have been any worse, could they? Let’s start with the few contestants who were successful and work our way down:
Paige was by far the worst of the night. Unless she gets a ton of sympathy votes (which saved her before), she’s a goner. It’ll actually be a travesty if someone else goes home instead. Andrew may be at risk as well; he’s talented and I want him to stay, but he’s not connecting with the songs, the judges, or the audience. I wouldn’t mind seeing Aaron go instead, though I’m sure his fans and the judges’ praise will keep him safe.
