ONE SONG, GORY: Tonight's results on American Idol? As big a stunner as Nikki outlasting Tamyra and Josh Gracin eliminating Trenyce, and if it's explicable at all, it's for the same reason as the first one.

The pretty boy front man who wasted opportunity:

How do you write a song
When the chords sound wrong
Though they once sounded right and rare?
When the notes are sour
Where is the power
You once had to ignite the air?


And he could have won the whole competition. Instead, Christmas bells are ringing . . . somewhere else.

edited to add: On the other hand, I've located the people who are voting for Scott:
This show is not about finding the next big superstar. Your favorite contestant probably won't win, and will probably get a record contract anyway if they're [sic] good enough. Besides, TV is supposed to be about the entertainment value, and what's more entertaining than a fish out of water outlasting the big fish and sharks? The producers wanted Scott in the top group so he could fail, but let's give them the monster that they've created. . . . Why bother voting for someone talented when this show can be so much more fun to watch? Scott Savol outlasting Carrie Underwood or Bo Bice? Now that's good TV!
They've got a point.
