It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane…It’s American Idol

Don’t look now, but jumping over a great white near you is Fox’s fraudulent “American Idol”. Tonight we should have been treated to the best night in the history of the series, with the three best singers from the most talented season yet squaring off for two spots in the finals. Instead, we got powerhouse Fantasia Barrino and two also-rans that should’ve been out of the competition over a month ago.

Though the recent report about the show’s flawed voting system weren’t an enormous shock, they did solidify a feeling I’ve had for some time that this would be the ultimate undoing of the show. Fox is going to have to make some serious changes next year if they want the show to remain relevant.

There’s really not much point in commenting on the show tonight. Fantasia ruled. The rest did not. It’s a shame that we didn’t get to see Fantasia put to the test by the other “divas”. This could have been a night to remember.
