American Idol Results
Brooke White was the latest casualty of the "American Idol" as she found herself evicted from the competition on Wednesday. White was joined in the bottom two by constant elimination seat holder Syesha Mercado. White struggled with the Neil Diamond week, as her version of 'I'm a Believer' drew acid tongued Simon Cowell to descibe it as a "a nightmare," and while she fared better with "I Am I Said" she still sounded unconvincing.True to form, the sobbing White thanked her supporters and said she was grateful for the opportunity before forgetting the words to "I Am I Said," perhaps she should have written them on her hand as she did on Tuesday.White could possibley claim the title of the most pleasant contestant in recent memory, starting as one of the favorites she accepted the judges criticism or tried to deflect bad reviews with excuses or interruptions, but her performances steadily became weaker and weaker.. The potential Idol struggled with the pressure and the critical eye of the judges and the voters, often her eyes welled up when she got upset, and the tears appeared when she appeared in the bottom three, something that happened regularly. The former nanny and general 'good' girl should look at childrens music for a career. Shes not a rock singer, she doesnt really do country well, and she moves around onstage like shes trying to learn to walk all over again.Whites demise wasn't a real shock, that was reserved for Jason Castro who sang a lot worse than she did on Tuesday, and didn't even give the impression he was trying.Just how the dreadlocked guitar-player survived will remain one of the shows great mysteries. Castro blames his struggles on the shows themes and some on himself, saying that he got good reviews when he either did songs that he knew or he changed the arrangements to suit his voice, although he can't do much about the former, since the shows producers determine the theme, but David Cook has somehow managed to do the latter well enough to emerge as one of the favorites.
Castro was the first to be told he was safe on Wednesday. David Archuleta followed, and when Cook was also given the good news, that ended the bottom two drama.
The most drama the show then produced interestingly came when one of the callers in the viewer mail segment turned out to be Simons first kiss. For the first time in the shows seven seasons, he looked totally flummoxed, although he did manage to remember the womans name.
On that note Idol producers will need to up the drama factor if they are to reverse the declining viewer numbers
