Idol Knockouts, round three:
The guys were uniformly boring this week. Even the reliables from previous weeks barely registered.
As before, the girls were noticeably better. Jordin opened with a rousing performance, throwing shapes left right and centre, giving the camera plenty of attitude. This was her best week so far, and I think she stands a good chance in future rounds. Melinda burst our on stage with a hugely enjoyable song and pulled off another stormer. The rest of the girls held their own, but none really warrant a mention.
The results of the guys elimination were acceptable. I couldn’t stand Sundance and Jared was duller than a dead mule. After a little bit of thinking, I’m glad Sanjaya got in, but never in a million years thought he’d make it. Despite showing promise in the early rounds, his recent weeks have been totally lack lustre affairs. He’ll have to really up his game next week if he expects to make it into the final ten.
That Antonella was going home was a foregone conclusion, but I was hugely miffed that Sabrina didn’t get through. This is the first week since she started where her performance was less than stellar, but she was still far better than some of the other girls and MOST of the other guys.
I think Sabrina’s ejection from the show calls into question the fairness of the shows existing format. Given the huge imbalance in talent between the guys and the girls this season, maybe the shows creators should ditch the rule that an equal number of both genders make it through to the final twelve.
