IF I'M BEING HONEST HERE, AMERICAN IDOL HAS NEVER BEEN "GOING FOR SPEED": Okay, bizarre song choice for the car advertisement slot this week, an oddly sophisticated-looking-but-inert Katharine McPhee appearance, but at least the outcome was not a shocker. (To the comments on that one.)
Here's my question on this elimination: have we just thoroughly incorporated the Simon's metrics as our own at this point? Because the thing about that performance wasn't necessarily that it was inherently bad -- the singer is not untalented like those of Idols past -- but that it was bad in a particular way to which we've become sensitized over time. And I wonder if that is what led to this outcome rather than some purer measure of merit.
