I am not surprised somehow that Carly was the contestant to leave the American Idol stage last night. I know Brooke messed up her song in a big way Tuesday night, yet there was just this thing with Carly... somehow she was not connecting enough with the audience and TV viewers.
But her voice is pretty awesome, and Carly Smithson was gracious in her goodbye to Idol. I guess there really is something about stage persona and Carly just didn't win over people. Michael Johns was much more of a shocker in my eyes to see eliminated so early on, I thought he connected with viewers, but apparently not.
There seems to be a niche a singer must fit into to stay on that Idol stage. There is the "tweens" niche, the "young male singer that's attractive and sings well", the "sweetheart" niche, and the "cute, sexy(ish), almost heart throbbish niche". David Archuleta would be in the Tween niche. David Cook would be the "young male singer" niche, Brooke White...definitely the "Sweetheart niche", and Jason Castro, the "cute and sexy" niche. And Syesha? I don't think she really has a niche. And will probably go next week.
Next week is Neil Diamond week. I pretty sure the 11 year old vote will keep David A in, and David C is on track to winning Idol, I believe. Jason will probably keep getting the young teen vote...13 and up ....who would love a poster of the dread locked singer on their bedroom walls, Brooke will maybe stay on with the vote of everyone in love with her sweetness, and Syesha is going to be the one to leave next week. My guesses...but who knows...it is "American Idol", and you just never know.
