American Idol

-Reality Originally conceived as the US version of Britain's Pop Idol, American Idol has since exploded into a full-fledged pop culture phenomena, launching the careers of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, resurrecting Paula Abdul and introducing America to a guy named Simon Cowell. Each week, contestants belt out stirring renditions of classic pop songs, while enduring the slings and arrows of the judges (or in Simon's case spears and axes) before America votes to decide who will be the next American Idol.

John vs. Oscar: American Idol Top 10 Elimination Predictions
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
     
The American Idol Top 10 performed last night, and by the end of the day, it will be a Top 9.  Who will be the next contestant to leave us?  That is quite a difficult question this week.  For the third week in a row, my fellow BuddyTV writer John Kubicek and I sat down and held a long discussion on who will be the next eliminated American Idol singer.  This week is so difficult because there's no one that's close to a consensus pick – everyone has vastly different opinions on who will go home and who should go home.  While there may be two specific contestants who I think should be eliminated, I'm confident that neither will, for one reason or another.  What, then?  Well, we have to look at the past couple weeks, analyze the voting patterns and who has previously found themselves in the bottom three.  John and I disagree on our predictions, but don't necessarily disagree on each other's prediction rationales.  Like last week, we recorded the conversation, and you can listen to the entire mp3 below.

John Kubicek's Bottom Three:
8th: Ramiele Malubay
9th: Carly Smithson
Going Home: Chikezie Eze

Oscar Dahl's Bottom Three:
8th: Chikezie Eze
9th: Kristy Lee Cook
Going Home: Carly Smithson

While we may disagree on who's going home, we do agree on one important thing: predictions this week are very hard.  My Carly prediction may seem insane, but I believe my reasoning is sound:  she was in the bottom three last week, she didn't give a great performance last night, and the one person still in the competition who got less votes for than last week (Kristy Lee Cook) gave a performance that will definitely increase her vote total.
