Last weeks elimination of Melissa McGhee was not a surprise, nor was this week’s elimination of Kevin Covais. I thought that Melissa had a better chance then Kevin of staying longer. Unfortunately for Melissa nerves got the best of her and she forgot parts of the song in her last performance with American Idol. That combined with the Aayla Brown fans anger directed at her is what ousted Melissa out of the competition. This week Kevin Covais was ousted because of his lacklustre performances that bored American Idol viewers and put most of us to sleep. This combined with the Gedeon McKinney fans revenge insured Kevin’s demise. Having said that, I do have to give both of them their due when it comes to how eloquent they handled their departures. I felt Melissa was upset but mustered the courage to remain poised. I thought the Kevin was eloquent when he said that the remaining competitors were great and to vote for them. I also think that Paula Abdul gave the best advice to them, which was that this was not the end! To pursue their dream and to keep working at it! This is by far the best advice that Paula has given on any Idol Season.
With Covais gone, the competition should start getting serious! As in my previous article, the competitors have to bring it each performance. They have to rise to the challenge and they have to set themselves as being viewed as unique and different then the rest of the performances. At this point in the competition it is still anyone’s win!!!! However, the competitors should be cautioned that the American Idol voters are tough and the cutesy performances will only get them so far! Refusing to rise to the challenge will not get an Idol win! Being coy, pretty, handsome will not obtain the win! Its time for these competitors to perform as they have never performed before. Giving outstanding excellent performances and keeping yourselves in the minds of the voters is what is going to get the win. There is obviously without a doubt at the very least 5-6 very talented competitors, however as in past Idol seasons if any one of them starts faltering then they will be ousted out of the competition in my opinion. This is the historical facts of how idol fans vote . Good Luck to the Top 10 and remember to bring it and perform as you haven’t performed before!
