It is official! Stevie Wright made it to the Top 36 for Season 8. I don’t think any of us are really surprised, she deserves it. Stevie is a very talented singer. American Idol knows that.
Last nights show certainly wasn’t a typical American Idol show. We didn’t get to see any performances, so we obviously didn’t get to see Stevie Wright perform. Instead the show was a long drawn out announcement of the Top 36 for this Idol season.
The contestants were taken to ‘the judges mansion’ where they were put into a waiting room. They all waited there turn to go in and see Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi and they were told if they made it to the Top 36 or not. That would have been OK, but then some contestants had to do ’sing-offs’ where they had ’sing for their life’ against another contestant, and then one of them would go through and one wouldn’t??? I am sure they already knew who they were going to put through. I think that was for our benifit, but we definitely didn’t benifit. It was a little pathetic! You can’t base your decision on that. Real performers rehearse and practice what they are going to do. Everyone rehearsed and practiced for the auditions afterall. Besides they have countless hours of everyones performances that we never see. The judges should watch that if they were unsure, but I think we all know it was ’staged’.
That aside we can certainly be happy for Stevie Wright. Making it through to American Idols Top 36 is no surprise, but I am sure she feels a great sense of relief.
The good news is that we will get to see Stevie Wright perform again next week. The contestants have been divided up into 3 groups of 12.
Next week 12 performers will perform (including Stevie): Casey Carlson, Stephen Fowler, Jackie Tohn, Ricky Braddy, Anne Marie Boskovich, Brent Keith, Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, Stevie Wright, Danny Gokey, Tatiana Del Toro, Anoop Desai
I really might have spoken too soon in saying that I like the new format for American Idol Season 8. I want to see performances. I want to see Stevie Wright perform. I don’t want to see what I saw last night. This is a singing competition afterall. I definitely give American Idol two big thumbs down for last nights show. I would have been happier with a very quick announcement of who made the Top 36 then show me some performances.
